Fawn Cheek

[Sam Ohio]

I bought a Fawn cheek male I believe, Is he BB also ? Why does he have the black line up his neck so far? What will the outcome be with a BC split female? Thanks

Im useless with genetics, but he is cute! A friend of mine had one male like this with a normal grey hen and they produced a clutch of 7 chicks.

5 normal greys, a fawn and a white

This is not a fawn cheek...but a fawn. There is no indicators in the tail that it is split to BB

Am I correct in ,The color before the forward slash is their visible color, and after the slash is split????? My males cheeks are alot paler in color than the one on E finch.

They can vary...if young it may not be colored up completely, a good diet can change color and make it more vibrant...this is a fawn male. He may also be split to a gene that he is not showing at the moment.

Fawn cheeks have a different look.
