zebba 'D' 43 Report post Posted January 6, 2014 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?? What do you think of him?

Andyn 534 Report post Posted January 7, 2014 Chris, Pieds do have a partial or all brake down of things like cheek patches (show standard says 50% removed) Is it possible that the pied markings are showing on the BC chick already I wonder. It could be back in the parent's line that markings were e.g. show standard and this has materialised now. Just a thought. Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
