Florida fancy second generation young.

Post by cindy » Wed May 18, 2011 4:40 pm

The first generation of FFancy the mother is a ff and the father is a Florida silver. The pair has given everything from FS, FF, and fawn Isabel.

I kept one of their offspring, a male FF (white, orange cheeks, chestnut flanking) and paired it with a fawn (a great grandchild of Patches and Cleo...normal split to fawn, silver, FF male and a visual normal dark gray female)

The results are very soft looking offspring...a dark fawn Isabel (not sure about the white at the edges on the cheek), a FF, a Fsilver. The young of the first generation have been very small compared to all my other mutations. So pairing it with an offspring of parents that were good size and gave larger babies worked a little, these are not as frail and tiny as the first generation.

The quality of the picture with two on a branch is off, the one in the lower right is a silver.
