Canary pairing question

[Zebra]

Thank you all for the valuable info.

I sold the previews canaries and I bought a pair of waterslagers, the female made a nest and start sitting but no eggs yet.

The mutation causing the dominant white coloration also messes with the birds' ability to assimilate and process vit. A.....
......................................................................................
The recessive white mutation does not affect the vit. A metabolism,

The truth is exactly the opposite.
Recessive whites cannot accumulate carotenoids,thats why they cannot produce vit.A.And thats why they are whites without a lipochrome,red or yellow,ground.Just see their fat.
Dominant whites are just fine to the vit.A metabolism.
