    Hi josh,

    As it stands so far this season this hasn't been a problem for me, the least amount in the nest i have had is 3 chicks.

    I have a bfbc x bb/bc these have had 4 chicks

    Another nest bfbb/ob x cfw/obbb these have had a nest of 5.

    Hi gaz,

    As allan said black flanks and a good solid blackcheek, thats not to say that you can't breed could quality bc from a poorly mark one.

    I had a pair in the flight split bbbc male and faint marked bc cfw hen,they produced 4 cracking chicks with good solid cheek patches.

    Trevor,

    This season has so far started off well I have recorded most birds brought in.

    I had another surprise from the flight a bb grey male x bc cfw hen.

    They have 4 bc chicks out the nest which means the male must be split for bc. I feel i have a better understanding of certain genes now which can only help me futher down the line.

    The cr bb will definitely be stopping for next season :-D.

    Morning all,

    Can anyone help, I was wondering if your were to breed a normal grey male and a bc female that is not the best of making as in full circle black cheek, does the same quality of bc get carried on to the young?

    Another example would be a pair of bcs if they were bout poorly mark would this transfer to the chicks?

    Look forward to your comments,

    Chris

    Hi all,

    I have a pair of pied bc zebs that have 3 chicks, one of the chicks is below which means the male is split for lightback.

    My question is the other two chicks ae feather up I can see the one and it doesn't have any bc markings had anyone any ideas why this would be??

    Hi all,

    Andy, I have had a look on the gentics site and it should turn out to be a male.

    Spot of there Trevor, it does have faint white down its wings so will have to see how it moults out.

    Another pair I have are bc pieds they only have white tips down wings, they have 3 chicks in the nest one is a lightback lovely looking bird unsure of the other two yet.
