Zilas New Zebra Chick what color?

Post by ranchnanny » Wed Aug 24, 2011 3:47 pm

Zila had two chicks her first time and one was pure white with a very dark tear drop. Now it looks like its changing with a slight hint of a cheek patch but no bars at all on the tail.

Would have to agree with the male CFW guess. Very handsome young man.

Actually we have a hen very similar to yours. Same exact faint markings in the tail area.

Zila looks like a cfw or a fawn cfw. (or fawn ccfw)
