Well the zebra finch eggs that I let my societies raise since theres were all infertile and they have done really well! However the some of the colors are not what i expected!? #-o Mind you the male is CFW and the female is Normal.

2 chicks are white which I assume will be female CFW's
1 Chick is Normal, which I assume will be a male split for CFW

However the two chicks left are SO light brown looking, I mean when compared to the normal chick in the nest with them they look like a very light brown and there beaks are not the same dark black like the normal. I believe these are two fawns but how in the world would this happen? These little guys are SO confusing! :lol:

Hey! It seems they are very light like almost light back? So weird? Cause the female is definately a normal.
