My best red zeb of the pack. Currently on a nest and just fledged 2, but have him paired with an isabel currently as I like really light coloured reds.

He has full red head, chest right through. No grey at all. Not sure how to make a red backed one though.

Sorry for the poor pics, taken in a large aviary on zoom

Thats a great zeb.

Well done

Whats his parents genes?

Red back progresses from red breast from what i can see.

That hen n cock on the far end look like the ones i sold you possibly....

Until recently I had all my zebs together and it was a free for all, so hard to work out parents on any birds. I've now seperated my favourite 5 pair for selective breeding. Most of my original birds I've moved on but most of my birds probably carry your bloodlines.

I've got 3 birds colouring up with really good potential. 2 charcoal reds and 1 isabel red

While I avairy breed, I do so across 4 avairys. So put different selections in each avairy to achieve different goals. It is slower than in breeding cages obviously. Love what you guys are achieving.
