Colour combinations ? Black cheek zeb

Post by Fraza » Mon Aug 07, 2017 3:40 pm

I have a female chick of mine that is now 4months and 1week old ready to breed with a black cheek zebra I would just like to know what colours may come.

The female mum was a cream colour and the dad was a normal grey with orange cheeks
The boy I don't know because he's from a pet store

Being your female a normal grey, all of the chicks will be normal grey / split to black cheek, unless the pair carries a recessive (unknown) gene.

Isn't a four month old female chick just too young to breed, for the sake of her health? She may be physically capable of making eggs, but she's so young I would think it would be harmful to her health.

She looks like she may be split to black cheek. She has pretty thick tear marks and I think I see faint chest bars. You'll have to breed to find out though.

Yes I actually bred her myself with a cream and orange check but I hope her chicks are black cheeks
