if a pair of Zebs have a clutch.

and the female is white and the male is gray

will it produce pieds or will the male genes be more dominant?

Someone will probably be able to help with a straightout answer, but in the meantime try this genetic forecaster for Zebs, it might be of some help.

in theory they would produce say from a clutch of four . 2 grey males and 2 white hens.thats in theory so things can alter that , like what the genetic make up of the parents are they might carry they could be split just about anything these days, u can only tell what offspring they produce. to be pied they have to have the pied gene to do so..........pete

YOu will not get any Pieds unless both parents are split Pieds.
You will only get all greys unless the boy is split CFW.
CFW is Sex Linked.

So Gary it appears you are the Zeb expert.
Thank goodness for that.
If I put a cock who is the fawn version of the guy in your picture (full black fronted fawn) to an apparently normal grey hen.
He was bred from partial Blackfronted grey cock to fawn pied hen.
She was bred from Dilute pied partial blackfronted cock (don't wince) to full Blackfronted hen.
What is my likely outcome.
I will look at the outcomes site but prefer to talk to the local expert.

Not sure if my terms are correct re the blackfronted but basically what I call full blackfronted is visually just that. and What I call partial black fronted is black to half way down but still has off white on the bottom half.

am 100% certain you'll get a coloured zebra
