sioux22 1 Report post Posted January 11, 2014 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolk flyer 208 Report post Posted January 11, 2014 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clare L 175 Report post Posted January 11, 2014 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CRS 1 Report post Posted February 8, 2014 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 ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paulm 119 Report post Posted February 10, 2014 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. Paul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
