Hi everyone,
Bought some new zebs last Sunday, so thought I'd put some pics up! Bought 3 cocks and a hen (all supposedly dilute blue, though 2 cocks have whiter cheeks than the other). Enjoy!

Thanks :) They seem pretty healthy, and were outdoor bred. I paid $45 for all 4 of them, which is a bit more than I've paid before for dilute blues, but not unreasonable.

I would think $10 each would be a good price. The one with the lighter coloured chest barring maybe a possible poor Silver, just does not have the white chek patches. See how the others are very dark on the bottom of the chest.

I had wondered that, especially as his cheeks are lighter than my other dilute blues, but not white. I think he's rather handsome, so I'd be interested to see what he produces!

3rd photo shows the difference on the bottom area of the barring. And noticed it looks like they have a couple of Pied feathers around the head area, or is it me?

One of the cocks had a white line of feathers across the top of the head, but I hadn't noticed white feathers on the other one until you pointed it out, so I'll have to have a look tomorrow!
