His birds are pretty!!!! Hen two is really nice, I would keep her, the fact that ameza confirmed OB and those cheeks are really nice...don't give her away.

Ameza what would you suggest he pair her with?
Ok I'm going to keep her --- Just have to figure out what to pair her with :)

Yes she might be split OB as well.

OB splits in females often show as:

Thin tear marks
Orange in cheeks
Orange in tail feathers
Grey spots in flank area

Ok so I paired up the oB BB pheao to a normal female that's looks to be split to oB and BB
Image


Then I paired the oB male to hen #2
Image

What do you guys think about that ???

Now I'm not sure what to do with hen #1
Should I pair her up with this male witch look like he's a dominant cream
Image

Or should I pair her up with this normal male that's split to BB split to BC and LB
Image

Here is one more pic of hen #1

The first two pairings sound great....the last pairing since the males ID is in question I would try....both may be hiding a few different genes. (I sent the link about the last male off to a friend to ID)

As cool as it sounds I still have to say ...... No it is a male he's bin singing and hanging out with a normal hen ( looks like they hit it off) but I have seen him singing to her ..Maybe I'll try and get a video if I can or some more pics ...

I just read this thread and am so curious about where you got those unique zebra mutations? A breeder, store, mart? They are so beautiful! Congrats!
