Which mutation are these???

[NRJ]

I bred the male zebra and the female fawn in the pictures and, got three silverish colored offspring, could anyone tell me what mutation these are??

NRJ - A few questions for clarification. A clear picture of each bird's tail would be helpful.

Pic #1 - Is that a baby in the foreground and the mother in the background? The hen in the background appears to be a fawn adult. The juvenile in the foreground looks to be black breast and perhaps recessive silver or isabel. Both would allow for normal colored parents to produce a silver colored offspring.

Pic #2 - Are both of these juveniles from the same parents? The one in the background is a black cheek and appears to be normal grey rather than silver (if this is out of the same parents, both parents are split black cheek). The juvenile in the foreground looks to be black breast and perhaps recessive silver or isabel like the chick in pic #1.

Pic #3 - The bird in the foreground must be the father, right? He is clearly a black breast cock. From the pic he looks a little lighter in color - perhaps lightback? Gradations in color can be hard to discern in pictures though and his belly doesn't appear white enough for lightback.

The next bird must be the fawn mother.

The following two juveniles look to be the same as the juveniles discussed in Pics #1 & 2.

You should be able to read up on the mutations mentioned above here:

Which might make identifying the mutations easier. For information on isabel, read the information on European Isabel in this section:

Pic#1:The fawn in the first picture is the mother,
Pic#2:the black cheek is not theirs it is fostered
Pic#3: this is the father and the two silvers in the back ground are the chicks and you can see their moms tail in the middle

Here is another picture of the father and all three chicks in the background
