Re: Speckled zebra finches
So is there anything you could say they are definitely split for or do you need close ups of parents and babies?

Re: Speckled zebra finches
there are slight markers you can often see for recessive splits but often the birds do not have to show them, the only way you know if the pair carries splits is if the bird produces it.... some sex linked split markers can show a little on males, hens can not be split to sexlinked mutations.

Re: Speckled zebra finches
Okay thanks, so the bb or ob split is what causes the wing speckles? Because if I am right the pied gene cannot cause these speckles, it must already be on the bird?
