Keep in mind the White if either a pied white or the mutation White are both recessive. Fawn is sex linked. and Normal gray is dominant.

If he is CFW LB, both CFW and LB are sex linked also. There is always a chance he or the hens carry splits to other mutations as well.

Hii.. I have almost the same question. I have two pair, male and female cfw and the other are male grey and the female cfw.
The white coyple had a chick and it looks like brown but Im not sure about his coulor... They had one first it was brown and white but it died before it fledged... Can A mutation be known here?

Hi Anastasia.

Maybe you could post a picture of your couples and the chicks.

Our Cindy, is usually very good with being able to figure out the mutations.

Can you post a picture of the the chick that looks brown, was it by chance a hen?

the chick hasn't fledged yet, I will post you a photo once he fledge out off his nest, but I will try to capture a photo for him while he is still inside.

haroun Hi, and welcome to the forum! If you'd like, you could post in the Introductions forum telling us a little about your birds and setup. Of course, we always love to see photos! There's lots of good reading at www.finchinfo.com, where you will find many articles on finch care. If you put your general location in your profile, it makes it easier to answer locale-specific questions.
