I am hijacking my old thread, since the topic is relivant....I think...
OUTCOME of Fawn cheek and Osiris::
Osiris..possibly the hen, threw the clutch out f the nest....trixy birds.
So, the male and his old flame got back to gether and produced two black cheek males...but their black cheeks have a burgundy color to them, they are not completely jet black like his first baby. And their brest bars are just like their father, not full, and not connected in the middle..*sigh*
The held back hen from his first clutch (the lightback, black cheek pied female) has been paired with a silver Isabel male (I am assuming it's Isabel because it meets the visual criteria.. they are both young, and are just bonding for now, we'll see about breeding later. Should be interesting...The pic below is from eFinch. This male I have looks just like the Florida Fancy Silver bird, but with light cream/fawn/tan cheeks..
And the strange fawn cheeked white hen.. Got a new Bo who loves her, they had a small clutch, two female birds.. I am a bit disappointed, I was hoping one would be male.. The father of this clutch is a bit bizzar to me too.. I can't find any pics that look like him. So I would like to give a physical description, then post pics of my birds later for you to study..
The male (I call him Ra, because he is huge, and rules the roost in the aviary) Is all white. He has rust laceing around his feathers like a Florida Fancy, brown/rust tail bars, thick chestnut feathers, large round rusty cheeks, and a brown/ rusty breast bar and scaled feathers. NO black markings at all. His eyes are a blackish grey, and his underbelly is also white..not cream.. so any ideas??
** see the link, but imagine the first bird with a rust brest bar that looks smeared into his neck.

His mate (the female) is also white, with some lacing around the feathers and a creamy buff/tan colored cheek
The offspring have no cheeks, have laceing around their feathers (more than their dam) and have buff colored bellies..so would these be CFW hens?? So confused... pics to follow...
