Do I get another pair!!!

Post by Lauravdm » Mon Oct 18, 2010 12:23 pm

The War has begun, I noticed as I was sitting outside having my coffee that my grey pair are fighting with my white male, no problems with the female, but they really have a go at him, and he is pretty good at giving back what he gets.... Should I get another pair as I have been reading in my book that 3 pairs or more is better than 2 pair, as I originally only wanted 2 pairs, and all was fine until the white pair laid their eggs, then the grey pair got curious and the white pair were chasing them away but nothing physical, it now seems to be getting a wee bit nasty!!! :!:

Are these zebras?

If so, I have had a similar problem w my grays picking on my whites. Even the parents sometimes pick on the white or pied chicks. Something about white seems to trigger something in some of the birds.
