My new additions

Post by Frankenfinch » Sat Nov 27, 2010 3:16 pm

I just bought two new females. I believe one is a cream and the other is a silver pied. I've never seen a silver pied before so I want to get others opinions on what exactly I have. They are a little ratty looking at the moment but i think it was just from overcrowding at the pet store. I have them in there quarantine cage now though.

Looks like your white hen is a CFW. And it does appear that you have a Pied Florida Silver on your hands there. Our flock has produced a fair amount of girls that look just like her over the years.

Awesome! I've been doing more research and was thinking the same so thanks for verifying! Im even more excited about them now. I was also reading on efinch.com that male greys split to CFW have white markings on the tips of there wings. Both of my grey males have that and I always wondered about it. So if all goes well I'm going to start breeding them in a few months and hopefully I will get some beautiful CFW babies :D I never thought i would ever find a florida silver around here. The pet store said they sometimes get black cheeked so I will be stopping back there again soon to see if they have any. I really need to build my aviary soon :lol:
