4 OC ZEBRA CHICKS Same Gender?

Post by ranchnanny » Sat Jul 14, 2012 12:58 am

My pair of Zebras had 4 chicks that are now fledged and on their own. Now I am seeing all 4 getting orange cheeks is it unusual to have all the same gender??? I was surprised to see all coloring up like males.

Definitely happens from time to time. I have had clutches of all males and have also had clutches of all female. Same with societies and gouldians. :)
God is my redeemer and it is through Him I have found eternal happiness. I am grateful, I am blessed, and I am truly loved. I wish all this and more for all members of our finch forum family. May you all be blessed and highly favored. <3
