Charcoal Zebra Finches

Post by Phatfinch » Sun Jun 22, 2008 10:02 pm

Hi I have some charocoals that I got from a pet store if anyone is interested to see:

*edit: I'll rephrase my question. Is it hard to breed this mutation? If I get the two fawns will that produce charcoal babies? Or is it complicated?

Could the female's children produce charcoals? I think I read they somtimes dont show it but can pass it on to babies ? :? I'm new to all this...

Image His name is Monule

ImageImageSweeney - fawn. Got some better picies now
Image Mrs. Lovett - This female is fawn charcoal right?

The charcoal Zebra is really cute....looks like he needs a bath! :wink:

It would be fun to breed a charcoal and and all white Zebra and see what color mix comes up!

normals, pieds and charcoals. any colour combination is possible if you are careful who pairs with who
