Clare L 175 Report post Posted July 3, 2013 Picked up this normal and I think split BB today. Wasn't looking to but any new zebs ( got to many already ) But he really did catch my eye He has settled in well and fed immediately. Really pleased with him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andyn 534 Report post Posted July 3, 2013 Clare. What make you feel that he is split for BB. Cos I have one that looks like that. Is it the width of the black band on chest? Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clare L 175 Report post Posted July 3, 2013 Hi Andy, The spots on the flanks are elongated, it doesn't show them that well in the pics. But generally if the spots are elongated the zeb should be split for BB. The breast bar can be larger to. Hope this helps Clare Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andyn 534 Report post Posted July 6, 2013 Thanks Clare, I've looked closer at my lot of cock youngsters and several have thicker breast bands but not anything different with the flank markings. And looking at the adults I have some with narrow bands and some with thicker ones. I'll check back on breeding records and see if certain cocks have bred chicks with same width of band etc. Cheers Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
