That is how I am breeding them mosty. When I first got them, had absolutly no idea of the genetics. So - wrongly assumed they were recessive - and required 2 x red zebs to go together. Now I know better - they are random dominant - so put them together - or put them with a normal - and you will get a % of reds. Just more by putting them together. I also find they produce nice young if you put a red zeb and a fawn charcol together.
Nice pair you have there. You are obviously more computor capable than me when it comes to posting pics.

Cheers mate 100% with what you said i have found the same so ive got my orange breast males breeding with fawns hopefully get the offspring to breed again with straight orange breasts may take a few generations to get what i want and eliminate the fawn hens get a good gene pool for dominant oranges….. if you know what i mean

This pair is about to sit on some eggs… cant wait to see what the offspring look like

They are a neat looking zebra compared to a few other mutations mine look exactly like the wild type same body no changes just changed feather pigmentation no black all orange. Trying to keep the orange in check though dont want too much spreading around

My reds have thier own avairy. 1 of my 4 avairys. I really like the colour. 4 years since I got my 1st red Zeb, so not travelling too badly.

Great stuff red zebs will always have a place in the collection i keep them by themselves too away from the mixed collection

here's some of mine.

I mixed red fronted in so every nest throw miles of both

Beautiful
