I had four little fledgling pop out a few days ago...the mom is a fawn (her father is a split to BB fawn) and dad is possibly split to BB also. He has cheek patches that extend in a thin line orange line around the top of his eyes.
The babies are cute, two have tail bar that resemble split to BB. The one that interest me is the one on the far right. The white face maring and tear are very reduces. There is a second one like this. They are little puffs right now but I am curious to see what they will be.
the picture of the male is the dad.

Re: Little zebra fledglings 1-7-2012
Cindy, i have a question. if the chicks are black breast, it should show the black when they fledged right? my two plucked chicks fledged this morning, think they're both black breast..has the black bars on their chest.
