Isabel orange black breast zebra finch

So what would I need to breed an Isabel orange black breast finch

One like the picture below http://www.geocities.ws/Heartland/Valle ... range1.gif

It is an Isabel orange breast black breasted black face fawn male zebra finch.

This is one of the possibilities of what my speckled finches were with pied covering the markings.

Would be quite hard to breed one exactly like the pic. You'd have to have a pair of finches that both carried all the recessive genes listed.

For example:

Fawn hen split Isabel bb ob >>>
Black face male split Isabel bb ob

Good luck!

Flight Feathers hmm sounds tricky what about not a full one of these in the picture but similar one just with a orange breast

Sorry what exact Color were you wanted?

Probably best to start with an orange breast or black breast first and then get an orange breasted black breast.

Here's how to do it:

First you must have a pair where both birds are bb split in order to get a full bb.

Next you need a full ob. To get a full ob both birds must carry ob to get a full ob.

Now breed the ob to the bb and babies should carry both bb and ob. Next breed the bb and ob split to another unrelated bb and ob split and you should get a bb ob.

Good luck!

You have a couple choices there then. Do you have an off Spring off the black breast? Which birds are offspring or related? I'd probably breed a black breast black cheek first because it doesn't look like you have any ob.

Flight Feathers okay well they are a pair anyway but just last clutch wasn’t successful thanks

That won't give you a black breast black cheek unless your black cheek carries black breast and your black breast carries black cheek. If they don't carry this genes your babies will only carry black cheek and black breast so get a full black breast black cheek you'd need to breed one of this split babies to another unrelated finch that also carries black breast and black cheek. On the other had to get a full black cheek just breed your two black cheeks.

So recessive genes must be shown in both parents to get a full otherwise the babies will only carry it, very confusing!
