Zebbies; On eggs

Pass, I put a pair of zebbies together like 4 days ago or so and they nest is built and there is 3 eggs already !!!!!!!!!!!!!! The hen even laid one egg 10 minutes into the cage in the seed cup, which I know for sure is not fertile as she just dropped it so fast with no mating.

But then the nest was made and I looked in today as I saw the male setting? Though, why the hell would u be setting there with no eggs. lol.

The male is white and the hen is beige/cream. I cant wait to see what they produce. Pass, will they be ALL white as white is dominant????? I hope not. Would like to see a variety.

Hahaha, Zebbies! Always in a hurry...
White is recessive not dominant. But most white are split for pied as well. Unless mom was split for white, you will not get any.

Well how the heck did I get booboo then??? He is white baby.

Now one of my white males died a few months back, so I have two whites, plus doodoo, and the one buff hen, and a pied hen, a pied cinnamon cock. My nice pied cock died. So it will be zebbie surprise then.

The only two hens I have r the buff and a pied hen, but the pied always looks so puffy or plucked. She was the one that had started to poop seeds. She recovered enough to go back into the cages but I dont want to breed her if she is sickly. So only having one healthy hen, I thought I better do a clutch to get a few more so I dont have to go buy one.

Also wanted something a bit tame for down the road to breed and sell. I keep saying sell, but havent yet. I do want to tho, just to test the market.

You need one white parent and one split to white parent, or both split to white parents to get whites. This is where Boo came from lol.
