Big bar!

Can you create this mutation with the black breast?

[tobyneilson]

mine was from a CFW and a normal, was the first nest with those two individual birds, but the 3rd for the hen, so she having a rest, gona try again later in year so will see what I get

[cindy]

Now to figure out how to make a CFW from my stock!!!!! Got plenty of normals. I love all the different mutations listed on efinch that you can use the black chest zebras for.

I have Continental CFW could I put that with a normal male to get CFW????

It looks like on efinch I can use normal and CCFW....if I am reading it right. Should the female be nornal or the male..I also have lightbacks.

Same here,love all the mutations I can put black breasted with,gona have fun next year breeding him

As for female, mine was normal, the male was CFW, hope that helps

All I know is all my chicks are just pure luck as this is my first year breeding finch so still learning what will produce what

[cindy]

My big thing is creating the CFW...I think I can do it with a normale male and a CCFW female or is it reversed??? crazy!! Help Vargur!!!

[Vargur]

I am here!!

Well, I am not an expert... but
If you have a lightback, than it is possible that you can get CFW from them,
Or pair a Lightback with CCFW.

or if you have a gray male that is split for CFW and pair him with LB..
many things possible..



As it says in efinch.com: Sex-linked. The Regular and Continental CFWs and the Lightback
are all part of a multiple allelic series.
Both varieties are recessive to Lightback and
the Continental CFW is recessive to the Regular CFW.

But that is what I have done..
I allways get more CCFW boys but more of CFW girls.
I want to have CFW male, but allways get CCFW or CCFW and CFW.

maybe not so much help in me right now, sorry

[cindy]

Thank you...I have a lightback male that fledged a few weeks ago and a young CCFW female. I can let them mature a little then pair them. Then fingers crossed!!

If it works then I want to work with Black Breasted and add FF, BC, Silver Isabel, Fawn to my mutations list. I have all the mutations to match with the Black Breasted...just gotta get the missing piece to the puzzle.
