Okay great thank you! I cannot wait for them to breed! Lol no that would definitley not work having a trio of zebs. Yeah I’ll definitely see if I can get a hold of some zebs eggs and foster them under the soceities. How many eggs would be considered manageable for a trio of soceities to raise?Fraza wrote: Flight Feathers no he won’t they will all stick together only one Male with breed with her but they will all still huddle up together it’s really strange when you compare them to zebs cos a trio could definelty not work but with these guys u will see
And Yh this way u can get an extra clutch out of your zebs cos you can foster a clutch under the society’s with the society clutch together
What color babies will I get?

Re: What color babies will I get?
Okay thank you so much!! I think I’m sort of getting it lol I don’t mind just getting Pieds as Pieds are beautiful! (Despite the fact that they ruin the self colouring) I’m glad I’ll be able to get crested birds tho. And no I definitley wouldnt breed two cresteds together. There’s also a genetic fault when the crested gene - it produces young with things wrong with their feet. Luckily the crested female I got hasn’t had any problems with her offspring which is good. (Of it she has it wasn’t many problems) I’m hoping to get some other colors other than fawn but I’m still happy with whatever I getIcearstorm wrote: Flight Feathers
Fawn is the most recessive of all the base colors, so the babies will be fawn.
It's hard to know for sure, but I'm guessing that all of your birds are single-factor pied, as they only have a little bit of white. If that is true, here's a punnet square of the breeding results:
P= pied (codominant)
p= self (recessive)
(Having to use "..." for formatting.)
.....P.....p < single-factor pied parent
P...PP...Pp
p...Pp..pp
^single-factor pied parent
25% double-factor pieds (PP); these will probably be around 50% white. 50% single-factor pieds (Pp); these will probably look like your current birds. 25% self (pp); these will not have white patches.
Crested birds almost always are split/heterogeneous to non-crested, as a double-factor crested birds tend to have feather problems. As a result, two crested birds should not be bred to each other.
Crested is dominant, so 50% of the offspring will be crested:
C= crested allele
c= non-crested allele
.....C....c <crested parent
c...Cc...cc
c...Cc...cc
^ non-crested parent
Taken all together, the results will probably be:
12.5% crested fawn double-factor pied
12.5% non-crested fawn double-factor pied
25% crested fawn single-factor pied
25% non-crested fawn single-factor pied
12.5% non-crested fawn self
12.5% crested fawn self
It's unlikely that your birds have hidden alleles like ino, grey, or red-brown, but if they do, that complicates things quite a lot. I don't feel like doing the calculations for that, though
here's an earlier thread where I discussed ino inheritance: Grey Society Finch
Edit: Whoops, thought one of your males, not the female, was crested. Fixed that.

Also a bit off topic but how many dominant genes can a male zeb carry and how exactly does it work? Which genes dominate which? Does black face dominate normal? From my black face and cfw pair how would I get a normal ?? Sorry about all the questions!

About zebra and dominante, there is no limit i think you can have a BF Silver, crested cheekless and FC at same time.
FF the US version of Isabel is co dominante that mean uf you breed Florida Fancy to grey u will get a transitory bird. wich is single factor Florida fancy.
Also Light back dominates Cfw.

Re: What color babies will I get?
haroun they’re a nice pair and the minute she’s out of the juvie part she will beeed happened with caramel and coco remember literally when she turned 3 months she bred and before that she would attack him when he sang to her
And that’s good then and I’m sure they will bring up chicks I’ve only had one society that didn’t and that was coco chick who was horrible
