chick2


what do you think what will their color be?Mom is CFW,and dad is normal pied
They are 2 weeks old

What chubbie little sweetie pies!...Sorry I know anything about Zebras, except they are "adorable!"

They look like Fawns to me.

possibly light backs....they aren't fawns since they are missing the horn colored beak.

Color them adorable!

From what I can tell, I would guess normal grey split bc.

Normal grey.
If they are boys they could be split for CFW.
Girls cannot be split for sex linked mutation.
(CFW is sex linked)
Both parents must carrie the pied gene mutation so it
will show in the offsprings.
(pied is rescessive)
Thats why your baby chick is NG

Very very cute chick, congrats!

thank you.
last night I read the article about sex-linked mutations and recessive mutations,so finally I can understand what you're sayin'

and what are other possibilities for their chicks in the future?

it depems on what bird they are mated with.
But I guess if the NG split CFW boy are mated with CFW girl,
then you will get CFW, normal greys and NG split cfw..

And if the chick on picture #1 is Split BC, then you can pair him up with another bird that is split to BC, and then you will get full BC bird.

But wild guess... U can have pied, CFW, normal grey and possible BC.

But like they say, when you have zebra finches, its just like a box of chocolate, you will never know what you will get.

they fledged.
one has a white mark on his wing-so he's pied I guess,and he has much lighter legs
