I bought my pair of ZFs from a local small pet shop. This pet shop only sells fish, birds, reptiles and small mammals. He carries no puppies or kittens. His store is always clean and well organized.
I thought I was getting a normal ZF pair. However all five chicks hatched out and fledged looking like fawn or CFW (?).
I have spent the last week looking over pictures and reading discriptions of the mutations. One of our members here, hilljack13, also has tried to help. Still I am soooo confused! LOL I need help identifying the parents and the chicks. I have posted some pictures in the gallery of the chicks and the parents. I have also included some pictures here from the gallery that you can click for a bigger size view.
Here is father (possibly a light back ?):
Here is mother (normal grey or fawn?):
Still confused about my variety of Zebra Finches.

There is nothing in which the birds differ more from man than the way in which they can build and yet leave a landscape as it was before. --Robert Lynd
