Do you know what your normal fawn is split to? Or the OB fawn?

each mutation is separate....your fawn/ob or Fawn OB and fawn pair will give you
if split to OB
25% Fawn Males
25% Fawn Females
25% Fawn /Orange breasted Males
25% Fawn /Orange breasted Females

if full fawn OB
50% Fawn /Orange breasted Males
50% Fawn /Orange breasted Females

you can not create a mutation out of another unless you work with split or full visuals

so create a crested you need one single bird to show crested visually, pair that with your offspring and you will get some crested in the clutch.

to create penguin you need to take a full visual penguin and pair it with one of you fawn/ob, then their offspring which some will be split to penguin can be paired with another penguin (you can work with split to penguins but it takes longer. (ob suppresses the black in the breast bar but part of that is also partly accomplished with fawn)

Phaeo is the combination of black breast and Florida fancy, adding fawn OB to this will give you more orange in a bird that is either FF or Fawn if a hen and her dad is a fawn, if the mom is fawn then only the male will be split to fawn...no visuals. Fawn is sexlinked

You are very braves Charles. I tried to breed unusual zebra mutations a few year ago. I managed to breed a few good looking birds, but ended up over a hundred Zebras. It got very big, you have to keep track of the genetics of every bird. If you have a breeder closeby that can give you tips, and you can buy birds from, it get easier. For instance you buy a bird in a petshop, that you think is a floriday fancy and it turns out to be a european isabella. If you were to get a bird from a breeder, then you can get it's history as well. I got rid of all of my zebras about 2 years ago. Where I live in Cape Town, you can almost not even give Zebras away, what to say about selling them.
