Dark zebra baby's ??

Post by Cold R » Tue Jul 31, 2012 11:06 pm

I was at my friends place today when my friend asked to to take a look at some zebra baby's that were under some foster parents ( he lost the breeding card and can't remember who the real parents are :( ).... There really dark with dark markings .... I know there still pretty young but I was wondering if any one has had baby's like this and what they mite be ?

It would be interesting to know what the parents are, if you could find out it would be helpful. It looks like it might be a combination of BC and BB...just a guess at this point without knowing the background. It may be more apparent as the mature.

My cage with black cheeks males, NG & CFW hens, produces birds that look like this. The smudginess in the tear area generally cleans up, but it'll take three, four, five months.

The last bird... had like a eumo tear. I am guessing eumo or BF, but I do see maybe BC or BB in there? Hard to say
