What would you get from this zebra pairing?

Male: black face Dominant silver
Female: fawn

Anybody know what their chicks would be? I know the fawn and DS together create a really pretty cream, but I'm wondering how the BF would fit in... Anybody have pictures of zebras with this assortment of mutations?

Thank you! :D

Thanks! I guess I'll have to wait and see what they come out looking like- my guess is that some will be dominant creams with brown/fawn colour replacing the black and gray on the face and breast. The pair isn't old enough to breed yet, but I just got the BF-DS male yesterday at our local finch society meeting. :mrgreen:

I will definitely post pictures when they do have chicks, but that is months away.
