Very cute babies, and Daddy is very handsome. He almost reminds me of a diamond firetail.....

Re: Black cheek chicks peeking out 5-6
Thank you....the Black cheek have a different disposition than normal zebras. They aren't as pushy and very gentle. The pair raising the chicks is very attentive and protective and don't seem to mind the little foster tailing their every movement. Ususally at the point the foster is at the normals zebras start chasing and ignoring the young. Maybe because the BC are still raising young while the foster is with them might have something to do with it.
