Hi Paul Any chance you could provide a link to the Flemming and Flemming site you refer to? Thanks Jon

Thanks folks came back yesterday after 2 wks in santorini and wow what a difference 2 wks makes to developing young zebs! I think I now have bred 40 this season and theres a few surprises inc my quest to bred silver light backs and various other dilutes. Big thanks to my bro for house and pet sitting though!
-
They look strong healthy chicks Richard. You must be pleased with them!
-
Thanks Richard. I'll keep you updated on how I get on.

Hi dave I've admired the pics on your profile on more than one occasion. They look cracking! Its the dilutes that are my favourites. Finally got some promising creams and fingers crossed for more as they are all settling down to their next round.
-
Thanks for the advice. My understanding is that I won't get silver light backs unless I used a light back cock or a split cock bird as light back is sex linked? I'm also 'trying' lught back cock to silver hen with a view to getting dilute light back. Also trying with creams and light back too but only got cream and fawn light back hens so far. All exciting and interesting stuff!
-
So folks what's the likely outcome. I've hatched 5 from this mating ideally to get silver
-
Hi Richard the season has started off pretty rubbish but getting a few now. I'll be happy when they are fending for themselves and on perches! Keep in touch cheers jon
-
They look really promising nick. You must be pleased with them? I've finally got fertile eggs under the lb hen I had from you. Cocks so far haven't filled eggs but I'm still hoping cheers jon

Hi birdman I keep fawns and creams as my main colours but I'm also dabbling into lightbacks and silvers. I see you are in Sheffield. I'm in Nottingham. What colours do you have? Regards jon

Hi birdman I keep fawns and creams as my main colours but I'm also dabbling into lightbacks and silvers. When you say not far from me where abouts are you? ? I'm in Nottingham. What colours do you have? Regards jon

Hi Kieron I've not bred any yet. Im pairing light back to silver and vice versa as I'm wanting to try for silver light backs. You've done well getting 3 creams I always seem to get more fawns than cream probably because I'm biased to wanting better creams! I'll keep you posted as the season progresses. Pleased you've got your son interested cheers jon

Hi kieron I'm dabbling in silver s this year. Looks a nice bird mate. Could come darker but they can vary massively in shades of silver. You bred just the one so far?
-
Thanks for the guidance Michael. It's a mutation I'd love to breed!
-
Blimey nick they have fantastic round broad heads. Well done mate
-
Take your point dave but either way it's a cracking looking bird! One day.......
-
sorry wrong photo, that's my cream cock! Lets try again!
-
Hi I've found this picture on the internet, am I right in thinking this is a cream light back cock??
-
Hi emmy thanks they will be going to fawn cock birds. Dan what colours do you keep?
-
Here's a snap of my cream hens before pairing up
-
They look great mate. Fingers crossed I breed some as good as these!
-
Look smart Josh. Good luck with them
