My first clutch hatched

Post by finchlover1 » Fri Jun 24, 2011 11:34 am

I have a pair of zebras. I was told the female was a white and the male is a gray. I'm not disputing the male but I've been looking at white females and they look different than mine. Mine is all white BUT has a "line" under each eye. (black line). So what color is she?

Any quesses what color the babies might be?

Welcome to the forum!
It would really help to see photos of your pair. Since there are so many mutations, it's impossible to say without seeing them.

She is CFW or CCFW.

If her tail bars are light brown then she is CFW.
if her tail bars are dark grey then she is CCFW.

I don't have a pic of her. She has NO bars. She is ALL white. The only black she has is one line under each eye vertically.
