Re: Pairing charcoal with orange breast zeb. what's your res
your male is split to OB. To make full orange breast you need a full visual or another split to OB mate/hen. If your hen is not split you will not get full OB offspring. Can't just create the mutation from a non OB/split to OB bird.

thank you. how about the hen bird, is she a split as well?

visually she does not look it... OB is recessive and a bird can be split to a recessive mutation without showing markers. Based on the offspring no, but results from two splits may not show in every clutch.
