Help Identifying Zebra Mutations

Post by Lisa » Sat Apr 14, 2012 11:06 pm

I'm trying to update my birds in the finch breeder database but I'm not sure what some of my zebras really are. I figured I'd post some pics and ask for help. I know Dante will be all over this! LOL

There's lots of pics & zebras so I will have to keep replying before the thread is finished with all the birds shown.

There are three male sons, they all look identical so I'll just post a pic of one, Whisper. I think he's just a normal. Mist & Peanut are his parents also. His twin brothers are Elton and Squeak (not pictured)

The next picture are the 3 rescued hens from the City College.

Whisper and his brothers are split to cfw (take note of these if you can somewhere) some of the hens appear to he splits, but I need some individual shots of the 3

Lol, thanks Dante. I was hoping you were still up! I was sending telepathic brain waves to you ...."Must ... log on.... to Finch Forum" :lol:

I will definitely write these down - I am forever getting myself confused trying to figure out some of them.

I will post more pics of the girls individually tomorrow. All the birds are in bed for the night.

Thanks again!

:lol: no problem!! I do not sleep until like 4 or 5 when I do not have school. Yes, keep note, it will help for future breeding.

Btw, when you change their mutations, be sure to make females to female icons
