I wanted to see if anyone has any experience working with eumo zebras ??
I did a breeding with a eumo male to a black cheek female and only one chick made it and it turned out to be a female Cfw -- lol need less to say I was taken by surprise!!

the eumo father was split to cfw.it is sex linked so you would only get female cfw if any
needless to say, she is split to black cheek. if you can get her a cfw male split to black cheek or cfw black cheek, you can get black cheek cfw which are BEAUTIFUL

I agree, father is Eumo/CFW

Chick is CFW/eumo and BC... My uncle had a eumo pair throw a fawn eumo chick before

How sure are you this is an eumo...to me the male looks black face

BF has a full cheek where Eumo males only have a sliver or none at all

The baby is a hen CFW/BC. The thick tear shows the split.

No he's a eumo --- can't put him in large flight cause he can't really fly all that well and once he's on the floor -- he can't fly back up (poor guy)

Yeah I really like the Cfw black cheeks

But what if I breed her to a eumo/ Cfw .... I should be able to get Cfweumo/ bc right ?

Yes, and you can get both males and females that are CFW in that clutch. I am not sure what Eumo CFW's look like..
I think they have normal tail bars but not sure about cheeks or tear and they are white

Eumo CFW would be very interesting... conflicting mutations!

like BC OB

I'm almost positive they have normal-black striped rumps, i think the hens have no tears and they are white. but i'm not sure about cheek patches

I have never seen one inperson but I found pics online

Right on! they do have normal zebra butts! i was just going by what i was told one time, a while ago. but only about hens so i know nothing about males!

The BC CFW split eumo written BCCFW/eumo will most likely produce a regular BCCFW if paired with a BCCFW. Her tail is light gray so she would be considered a Regular BCCFW/eumo.

The BCCCFW or BC Continental CFW have black tail barring.

I raise BCCFW....if you go into the search (upper right hand side of the screen) type in BCCFW author Cindy it should bring up my pairs and young.
