Does This Bf Carry Ob

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I brought this BF cock from my local pet shop, and was wondering what else he might have in him, Im wondering if hes also split for OB, can anyone tell me what he is and what he might carry, and also if hes best paired with a normal grey hen or a bc hen,

 

Thankyou very much sue x

Hi Sue,

            Nice male you've got there and to be honest I like him, so well done with your choice,

 

As you said he's a BF that's spot on, now I think he's split for BB due to slight extended orange on the head,

 

If he was a BFBB his tail markings would be vertical and not horizontal as the photo shows,

 

Also he has oval spots on the flanks which also tells me that BB is involved,

 

I'm almost certain that there's no OB in him because there in no third colour in the tail,

 

If he showed OB so he would be a BFOB there would be no black,

 

If it was me I would pair him the the BC female you've got,

 

This then should give you:-

 

25% Normal split BCBB

25% BF split BCBB

25% BF split BC

25% Normal split BC

 

Now if you're lucky enough and he's carrying  BC

 

You then have a 25% chance of getting a BFBC,

 

Hope this has helped you,

 

All the best with your breeding of him and please let us know your outcome,

 

Trevor :)

Hi Sue,

 

Hes a real nice looking zeb.

 

I have to agree with Trevor about the BB.

 

I would also use a BC hen, as you could then try for a BF BC zeb.

 

Good luck with him, hope to see some pics of chicks soon :)

 

All the best

Clare

Yes nice male black face -- he is split to BB and he is split to OB as we'll !!! (He has orange in his Brest -- clear signs that he is split to OB)

I personally would pair him up with a BBOB HEN and try for triple reds !

In any case good luck with him !

Hi

 

The Orange in the breast area indicate that he is split OB and the cheeks would say he is Split BB so i would say a BF/OBBB.
