White rimmed feathers: Zebra

Vargur is right....the fawn mutation is prone to fading in the sun. The once the bird has gone through a molt, the faded feathers are replaced with unfaded.

I realize that...I used the fawn mutation as an example.

oh

they were never in direct sunlight though.. she is only a year old. Whatever it is i hope it is genetic rather then fading or nutritional deficiency. i like it lots!

This would be called lacing right? You used fawn as an example, lux is /fawn and is ngbesides his wings.he has no white lacing, lolita is ng as far as i know and has white lacing...any help? This still cojfuses me. How can i tell if the chicks are. /fawn like dad?

When they molt they may have brown in the wings, but do not forget this is also common in greys. The white is not really lacing. My split FF has orange lacing with frosted white tips.

I read in the ob efinch discription that there would be white or orange lacing. So i could be a sign

From the pictures of him he shows no signs of anythnig but a possible split to fawn.

all of the pics i have posted are of the inner wing.the lacing is visable more on the outside or top of the feather. It is onthe inner lights closest to his chest. I really need to get pics but may not be able tofor a few weeks.

There is no indicators in the wings for split to OB. If the bird is split to OB it will be in the tailbars, throat or breast bar.

The true way to tell if the bird is a true split to OB is to pair him with a full OB or another split to OB, the gene is recessive which means both parents must carry the gene to produce OB young.

What you are seeing is a possible split to fawn coloring on the edges of the wings

If it were fawn, wouldn't it be light not dark?

light, there are different degrees of fawn from light to dak...as explained before you need to breed him at least 3 times to see if he produces fawns or pair him with a fawn female to see if they produce fawn offspring. Right now he is normal maybe split to Fawn

but in the second photo he is very silvery.
