My female Zeb is a bit bigger than my male, is that a problem when breeding?

probably not. My hen was always a bit fatter than my male, despite the fact I separated them and fed him more, he just wouldn't fatten up to size. Anyway, they bred 6 young very nicely.
hope it works for you

That's great. I was worried it was going to be a problem. Thanks.

Mostly they are similar sizes, but a bit either way is neither here nor there. Have had success with pairs regardless of who is biggest.
