Yes I must agree, she is quite stunning. And I would think that that is great news. Helps you to determine the mutation of your young chick and where it came from. Please keep us up to date on the progress of your little one.

She is a real beauty


The oldest (sister) chick is mine.
She is our very first chick to hatch,
And she is one of our favorite.
Therefore she is not for sale. :wink:

Quite the handsome fella you got there. Isabel is an interesting mutation. I can see similarities between it and Florida Fancy, at least the Single Factor variety with the silver frosting throughout his fawnish coloring. The girls are quite stunning as well.

Also know what you mean about getting attached to your firstborn chick. We still have ours and he is four and a half years old now.

I know this is an old post and not sure if you are still on the forum. But I went to Yahoogroups requested to join 2 groups. There was Not a group just for Zebra Mutations. Sad.

Have a great day

flymouse Hi there! Hope you are doing well. As you said, this is an old thread, and Vargur has not been on the forum for a long while. My recommendation would be to make a new thread where you will get a lot more traffic. Have a great night!
