So I think my large zebra is lb and I think the male must have fawn in him as the end of his feathers have a brown tint

Anyway the chick is now getting feathers and it looks orange litterally the pin feathers that are coming out are starting out as grey then going bright orange at the end ?????

Do you have a pic? My 2 current chicks have orange on them too.

Flight Feathersno I will try and get one tomorrow and this chick is huge I know it’s parents are big, the mom as big as the Java’s but he’s literally huge I’ve mever had a chick that’s only 1 week old this big

I’ve got a pic of him from other day I’ll upload now but haven’t got one of his feathers coming

Black breasted? Otherwise I’d say probably fawn.

Flight Feathers black breast ??? Really off a fawn LB and a normal

Black breasted is recessive. Doesn’t matter what colors you pair as long as the parents both carry it (and it’s not always a visual split) I’ve seen black breasted babies from the most common non split looking Zebs. You’d never had guessed they could have bb babies but they did. I’m not saying they are bb tho but there is definitley a chance.

Flight Feathers okay that’s really cool and the baby has came out grey now and has its little tear drops that join like a V like the Dad

Okay thanks, hard to say at this stage. It looks like a black cheek split tho going by the thick tear marks. Are either of it’s parents visually black cheek or black cheek split?

Flight Feathers Yh well his dad has really big tear drops they join like a V I’ll post a pic https://i.imgur.com/TWa9s9d.jpg
But because of his one leg I will be keeping it anyway so I hope it’s a he and I hope he has nice colours
