Hi Nick, I Have a fawn male with similar cheek marking, whose parents are full BC & Split BC. Was the cheek patch black as a chick? mine was and only showed the orange after a moult, I have yet to test whether full or split. So could have BC in him, either way a nice zeb. Clare

Hi Paul, Lovely young fawn hen, will you be showing her? I finally have a decent sized pair of fawns for breeding, looking forward to their first chicks. Clare

Hi Trevor, Nice pairing, hope you get what you are after OB LB, will be nice to see. Clare

Hi Paul, Very Nice, Fawns

Very Nice, One to breed from?

Hi Penny, Welcome to the forum, you will soon be hooked Clare

Hi Trevor, Another good unplanned result. I am also using plastic nest boxes this year, a lot easier to keep clean. cannot wait to see fully coloured up. All the best Clare

Really nice chicks, two of them look to be BF creams? Or would that be the OB in them creating the same colour between the beak and tear mark? Anyway,they are gorgeous

Hi Emmy, Nice to know your birds are causing all sorts of mischief & mayhem. Keep up the blogs, they can be very informative as well as funny, especially this one. Hope they sort it out soon. All the best with the mayhem. Clare

Hi All, Hope you like the attached. The Pied chick in the middle is a gate crasher from another nest, which has produced some rather cute pied chicks. The attached are Cream & LB Silver Chicks (Possible DF) ( Mum & Dad Are both Silver ), plus one normal/LB. Silver Hen x LB Silver/Fawn Male ( chicks are aviary bred so no guarantee ). They are due to fledge in the next couple of days. http://s880.photobucket.com/user/Claretrx7/media/19052015%20001_zpskrpevjm1.jpg.html?sort=3&o=3 Either way really pleased, with them. Clare P.S, I do know the danger of breeding dominant to dominant, these are aviary bred and they paired themselves. This is not something I would pair normally.

Hi Emmy, Can you post a close up of the tail, as it looks to light be just fawn. Are there three colours in the tail ? Clare

Hi Trevor, Nice Chick, what do the parents look like. You seem to have two Isabel chicks, and a BB fawn Got some pairs down now, myself. Clare

Hi Mike, Welcome to the forum. You will soon be hooked. Clare

Hi Krissy, Have attached some pics of BC Fawns that I have bred, for you to look at. As Andy has pointed out getting good check markings is very hard, I have also found that they might not show at all, but will still be full BC. The Black gene does act quite strangely with Fawn and can be quite unpredictable on how the zeb will colour up, the BC fawn also loses its fawn colouring slightly making the overall appearance lighter. http://s880.photobucket.com/user/Claretrx7/media/new17062014009_zpsd9f1230f.jpg.html?sort=3&o=330 http://s880.photobucket.com/user/Claretrx7/media/new17062014012_zps70eaf45a.jpg.html?sort=3&o=327 http://s880.photobucket.com/user/Claretrx7/media/new12042014chicksLB032_zps8a60927a.jpg.html?sort=3&o=349 http://s880.photobucket.com/user/Claretrx7/media/new12042014chicksLB018_zps60739923.jpg.html?sort=3&o=352 Hope you like. Clare

Billie is lucky to have you. Hope your hard work pays off. Still have my fingers crossed for him Clare

Hi Lee, Lovely set up, and great zebs to. Now time to sit back and enjoy Clare

Hi Alice, Welcome to the forum. I have heard a Zeb mimic a bengy before, its sounds weird as its not quite the same. Had a Zeb lay in a bengy nest and they reared there own chicks as well as the intruders lol Clare

Normal or Fawn Cock, depending on what you are after. Creams or Silvers. Clare

Hi Trevor, Happy Belated Birthday. Hope you had a good day. Clare

Hi Trevor, Cracking Little OBBB, you have finally had some good results this year. Clare

Hi Trevor, Lovely Triple Black Next years breeding should be interesting for you. I know I cann't wait to start mine All The Best Clare

Hi Chris, Brilliant Result for you, really lucky no wonder you are pleased with them As Trevor said more pics when moulted, never seen one before. Well Done All The Best Clare

Hi Richard, Really nice silver, I bred one a couple of years ago Lovely coloured Clare

Hi Melanie, Welcome to the forum. All the best Clare

Oh Dear!! That would be such a shame If you have any split BC's try and put a few of them with the full BC's, I have found the size and colours are better this way, especially with fawn BC. Good luck with them Clare
