These are both about the same age and offspring from my pairs. The are paired and I am hoping to get splits from them and eventually pair those with either Continental CFW or BC mates.

Handsome looking boys. Good luck with the breeding.

I'll bet you get some beautiful babes from that pair. Love the look of the hen! Oh and I like the arangement of greenery in your cage! The flowers look really pretty as so the ferns!

Thank you...I just had more fledge today from both sets of their parents! One little Cont. CFW and two Black cheek.

Ooooh, they are both so pretty

They are lovely Cindy
Almost (I did say almost) makes me wonder if I should have tried other mutations.

Thank you Ameza and Janine!

(Janine, go for it...you will like the BC and CCFWs, they are really sweet)

Great looking pair you have there!

Thank you!!

The parents to the male Continental CFW had a little chick fledge last night. The young are born pink turn black on their heads and back. When they start feathering out the body is a white color with a black/white back and head. By the time they fledge you can see the cheeks have darkened and will continue to do so as they molt. The head and back turn white and if a male the bars and flanking come in.

What a cutie and a great picture I love zebra babies

Your black cheek zebra finches are so beautiful!
Is the cfw mother in the picture with the baby black chick split to black cheek?
She is the absolute double of my cfw Zarkava.

Thank you...the baby is a Continental CFW, both parents are Continental CFWs. Their heads are black until the molt and it turns white like the parents. They also are sweet like the Black cheek pair I have.

Gorgeous! I love your new picture too!!!! ;)

Thank you Misty...I also have crested pied/penguins that fledged...next to fledge are Florida fancy and Florida silvers and then like split to penguins.
