Almos is an OB BB BF Gray.

According to efinch
http://www.efinch.com/species/obzeb.htm

"Combinations
The Orange Breasted mutation is combined with a number of other mutations with quite attractive results. One of the best mutations to combine the OB mutation with is the Black Breasted mutation. The extension of the markings caused by the BB mutation results in extended orange areas when combined with OB. The Black Face mutation with its extended breast bar and tear mark also adds orange to these areas in combination.

Orange Breasted zebras are also combined with the Florida Fancy mutation to produce white birds with lots of orange. Multiple combinations with BB, BF and FF produce some truly outstanding birds that are near white with orange extending over the head and down the belly."

And I thought my penguins were nice looking :shock:

This is not helping me to cut down on my zebra flock.

The color is so unlike a zebra that I just may have to try for that.
I do have a BF hen, so I am 1/3 of the way there.
The trick will be to find an OB and BB.
Hmmm, the next birdmart is in Nov....so....

But what to do with my penguins.
ARGH...I need more cages !!!
