RE: My 500th dumb question
It should not matter when you pair the girl/special with the boy/special unless there is a statement such as "before such-and-such-date", when put together they should have the same chance to produce a special offspring as if they had been together from the start.
There are good and valuable arguments for doing it either way.
As to the eyes, I would suggest it would be more likely to pass the eye, presuming the starter actually carries it (which is not always guaranteed), if you crossed the starter with a know, highly-recessive eye. That will generally give you 1-in2 odds of success. On the other hand, putting two starters together, assuming BOTH carry the eye, will, at best, give you 1-in-4 odds of success.
