Now you know why I have never been without Zebs when I have avairys. There is always some mutation that needs developing or keeping going. And when all else is doing didly squat you can rely on the Zebs to get it together. :bunny: :bunny: :bunny:

When I was (still am trying to develop pure black zebs) I kept getting orange cheek patches so I bought 2 black cheek cock birds and bred them with good charcoal hens.
