What do I breed my black face to?

Post by Flight Feathers » Tue Nov 07, 2017 4:24 am

Hi there, today I bought a black face male zebra finch, and I was just wondering what Color hen I should breed him to, to get black face chicks? Also, what do black face females look like?
Thanks!

I don't know much about zebras, but this might help.

When you say Black Face, do you mean Black Face, or Black Cheek? Because they are different

Here are two pictures to give you an idea of what I mean:

It is a black face zebra. Black cheeks are quite a dif mutation as thy have black cheeks. I'm not sure what variation of black face it is tho... I don't think it is quite black bodied ( I think that's what you call it ? ) so I think it is just black face. It said black face on the cage too.

In the link about Black Faces, it has links to different mutations of Black Faces if you scroll down a bit.

Would like to see a picture of the new kid on the block :lol: .

Please feel free to visit our Faces to Names Thread, to see some of our mug shots, and share one of your own if you like =D> .
