nice pair there clare looking forward to seeing picks of there chicks when they have some richard

nice chick there trevor it will be nice to some pics when older to see how she turns out when fully coloured up richard

thank you for your lovely comment clare yes its good to be back after all that time away and wit will be nice to see any pics of your birds when you get to breed some so good luck with your breeding program richard

here are 2 of my favourite males I have bred this year hope you like them both richard

hi all not been on for a while but I thought you might like to see these males I have bred hope you like them richard

hi Jason the parents to the chicks are fawn bb/ob male x cream obbb female

thanks jon and to all that have replied to this post

hi andy and emmy the twist is in the colour they will moult out to be which will either be just bb/ob or full obbb as dad is bb/ob and mum is full cream obbb so in reply to you emmy yes that's dad

hi all just had these chicks leave the nest and I thought I would share them with you. these are my first time in breeding these colours. hope you like them

hi aspen you do no you can get fawn in various shades from really dark to light and the colouring on her back and wings is to do with the bb and ob mutation that's in her richard

hi emmy the way you can tell bb/ob hens can vary some show bits of orange in there tails or spots in there flanks but I have some splits that show both but also some orange spots in there facial areas and are darker grey than ng bb's hope this helps. if you are wanting to produce some ob's from the males then pair your birds to a ob or a ob/bb female that way you will produce all 3 colours with the last colour combo but only a small percentage of each colour will be produced and some splits richard

I aspen with new pics I will say she's still a fawn but split ob and bb that's why there are no tear marks because of the bb she could also be split Isabel but not sure on that one at all richard

hi aspen it looks to me as tho its just a fawn but split ob as it looks like there is some orange showing in the tail but like trevor says not lb richard

hi emmy its deffo a bb with ob showing through as I have some males the exact same that I use in my obbb stud to improve the colour. its a very nice male as well so well done richard

there's going to be some nice chicks there emmy .they have some good black cheeks to them so looks like there will be a couple of nice males there I believe. well done and at least theres a happy ending this time richard

very good emmy its great how they can pick all sorts things up, mine favourite phrase was (what you doing ) hlole would say that all the time over and over again until you replied back to him.what else are you learning yours to do next richard

hi emmy you got a lot going on again haven't you lol .I think we all wish we had room to do things we like to do but we cope anyway good thing zebs are hardy little birds.when I had cockatiels I learned mine to woolf whistle at the wife lol good alarm call for me as well . well done with all your breeding and hope for lots more fun for you with them richard

hi emmy I bet you get some cracking birds from those pairing its like a bird lottery not knowing what colour will pop up and if you don't no if there split for any other colour its every one guess what you could get. you will be going to have some exciting time watching your chicks colour to see what you get. good luck and keep us all informed of the outcome richard

thanks guys for all the lovely feed back ,this colour wasn't the one I was trying for but knew I had a chance of getting this colour and now I have im really happy with it and will breed more of this colour next year as the parents to this one have produced one more of these and the colour I was trying to breed in the first place thanks all richard
