Zebra Finch fledgling beak colors?

Post by xdartfrogx » Thu Jun 18, 2015 4:01 pm

From what I understand, only CCFW babies have pink beaks. Fawn is a buff or horn color. Are there any other colors or patterns that result with a particular beak color? Perhaps silvers? I have new babies. Mom is a buff ng, dad is a bc. 3 babies. 1 ng, the other 2 I dunno. They look fawn to me. I do not know if the parents are split to anything, but I was not expecting these colored babies. Lol!

Pic 1 and 3 is of one baby. Pic 2 is the other baby. I will try to get pics of the black beak baby and the mom. This pic here is the dad (bc) and one of the babies from the photos above.The fledglings with black beaks in this photo are not related to the clutch in question. They're cfws from a different pair :)

Baby looks Florida silver to me, I have a pair which have produced this mutation and my one male thrown from them looked just like this as a chick.

Can you post a picture of the mom... it would be easier to determine what the baby might be. A closer clear picture of the baby would help also
