Can someone tell me what this chick is the father is a normal BC and the mother is a CFW.

It is a male CFW/BC

BC is recessive and CFW is sex link...mom looks the part but does not carry the gene but will give males split to CFW

To get a visual as you did Dad must also be split to CFW...is he your stock or did you buy him?

Beautiful!! He should be split to BC as well.

cindy I bought the father from the Finch Farm in Wash. state. and he is beautiful and I breed him with a OC CFW hen. In all they had 4 chicks 1 is a normal OC male and then the one in the photo and 2 others not white kind of tan in color.

here is a photo of the other two chicks

Another photo of the normal OC Chick

Sherry, I am curious as to what the mom looks like since there is no OC in the zebra mutations.... the females in the pictures look fawn.

If you could post both parents for us it will help with ID'ing the mutations the young carry. Since the female offspring are fawn than the father is also split to fawn.

Cindy the father is a pied oc and the mother is a cfw (one of the two in the photo) both their parents were normal zebras

Sherry, the male you first posted is a CFW male.

The mom is a cfw female

Dad is a normal gray, split fawn and also split to CFW and split to pied

Dad would be normal gray (NG)/pied, cfw, fawn

Did they tell you he was split to Black cheek?

Cindy I am sorry I sent the wrong photo of the male....DUH!!! The male is a BC Zebra here is a photo



The hen is a CFW both parents normal zebras

The pied male I got from Petsmart and the bc male I got from the Finch Farm in Wash. state.

ok...let's start over....

Dad is a BC...he is also split to fawn and split to CFW

Mom is a CFW

This resulted in your fawn females. Fawn is sex linked only males carry it but moms can be visual fawns only but give split to fawn males (one of your males may be split to fawn...can't tell who just now, you will have to breed him to find out)

Dad must also be split to CFW since the parents gave a visual cfw.

So your dad is written as this BC/fawn, cfw

I will try to break your percentages down...it is like a guess what to expect with from this pair.

CFW is also sex linked and mom can only be visual but can give split to cfw males. So together a visual mom and a split to cfw male gave a visual male.

You normal gray male offspring has wide tears, he looks to be split to BC.

WOW! Cindy I am impressed It will take me forever to learn this.

Thanks so much! your a gem

Sherry

You're welcome. Sherry if you want I can pm you a sort of cheat sheet and some sites to go to that can help in figuring out offspring outcome.

The family from your pair is very nice!
