You need to take a Florida Fancy Male and cross it with a normal...no pied or split to get silvers!

The bird in my avatar is a Florida Fancy male. You can take a Florida Fancy Female and put it with a normal male zebra also.

I am currently working on combinalitions regarding the Florida Fancy.

This is the site I often refer to and consult the author on.

Below is a hen, her father is the Florida Silver pictures her brother is the white Florida Fancy. The mother is a Florida Fancy.

Yes you need a hen that looks like this picture. A Florida Fancy female.

Like said above you need another floridan fancy to get ff chicks. Though I guess, a split (silver floridan fancy) would work as well.

Be on the lookout though because the females can look like that one above or have a much whiter colouration.

The mother is much lighter...some of the FF and FS females come out light or look like the dad but lighter...males so far all look like my avatar.
