So the albino and the dark made pastels or light fawns as I call them?
I would love to have a few pastels like the ones in the top picture.

Yes, they ended up with pastels

I'm keeping a couple of them since my albino hen died. I wish you lived closer!

Sorry you lost 'Grandma' but at least you have some babies out of her. Here is a link to an article on Societies that shows some of the mutations:

3 Purple Grenadiers, 1 Goldbreast + 1 cat.

Thanks Sally. I had gotten her from Helen. She never laid any eggs herself until just recently. She was always so great at fostering!

Thanks Stuart. It was really sad, but I'm so glad she got to be a mother!

Oh yeah I was reading the comments that the hen died. So sad. I know! No one out here has Society finches. Only at petsmart. I also want to have an all white non albino finch.
Hope you breed the pastels! Good luck!
