Steve,

 

Would the skin coloured one be a white? Are the parents Pied at all?

Just reading up in the Chris Blackwell book there are Penguin Pied so Whites are Pied in disguise and even if your Penguins are not visual pieds they could be carrying the gene and one or both could be white pied carrier.

 

I think that makes sense.

 

It will be interesting to know if is a white though Steve.

 

Cheers

Steve,

           This is only possibly, one could be a grey penguin and the other a fawn penguin,

 

Just a hunch that's all,

 

Are the parents both penguin ?

 

If so what colour ?

 

Trevor :)

Andy,

          There are two sides to zeb's light side and dark side,

 

For eg cfw dark skin, conti cfw light skin, normal ds and fawn ls,

 

So what I'm thinking is poss the dark skin one could be a Grey Penguin and the other due to light skin could be a Fawn Penguin,

 

So if the parents are both Grey Penguin the male could be split for fawn which would =

 

25% Grey Penguin split Fawn males

25% Fawn Penguin hens

25% Grey Penguin males

25% Grey Penguin hens

Thanks Trevor,

 

That makes sense and something else I've learnt about Zebies.

 

Thanks again.
