What a pretty guy!

He looks like a heavily pied black cheek to me in these pics - I say that because I think I see some darker black/brown looking feathers midway through his flank spotting in both pics. Many black cheeks have chestnut flanks or chestnut mixed with black rather than the preferred black flanks. If that is just a trick of the pictures I would change my guess though.

Do you have a pic of his tail?

Oh - here's a thread showing some other heavily pied zebs. None that are quite as heavily pied as this guy appears to be though.

I tried to get him and his partner settled in a smaller cage to get better pics lol wasn't as successful as I planned, but hopefully these pics can help.
I also included some pics of his mate, Meeps if you can help me with her mutation as well.
Thank you so very much!

likely a pied CFW, he may also be split to BB based on possible markers in the tail bars.... you will have to breed him with a split to of visual BB hen to be certain.
