Zebra cock/hen ratio

Post by tobyneilson » Thu Jun 16, 2011 2:03 pm

What ratio of cocks to hens is best?
At the moment I have 5 pairs set up in various stages of breeding,and in the flight cage I have 3 cocks and 5 hens,all get on fine with no sqabbles etc,was just wondering,is it better to have more hens than cocks,vice-versa or a matching number of each?

Doesn't really matter i suppose. But Zebra's will only breed in two's so if you want them all to pair up you will need equal amounts.
15 Gouldian, 40+ mutation Zebs, Societies and 1 Cut-throat (the only one i ever bred)... plus babies everywhere
