White with Color faults or pied?

Post by Flight Feathers » Fri Nov 03, 2017 11:40 pm

Hi there! I'm new to this site so sorry if this post is in the wrong place! I was just wondering if my baby zebra finch was white with Color faults or a pied? Thank you for taking the time to read this post!

Welcome to the forum! =D> I'm clueless about finch genetics, but I did want to compliment you on a unique-looking and very pretty zebra finch. :YMDAYDREAM:

Hello and a warm welcome to the Forum from Canada.

What a lovely and unusual looking chick. I have never seen one like him before. Is he a full Zebra, or a Zebra/Society hybrid?

Hi there, thank you very much!! Yea it's a full zebra. The mother is fawn and the father is white with a tan smudge on his back. I'm planning on keeping this baby to breed with and see what other unusual colors I can get. I've never seen this Color either!

Here's another older pic of baby and I'll try and get a pic of the father soon, as well as a new pic of the baby as that photo would have been taken earlier in the week.
