A question for those with RFPF. I currently have 3 pairs, 1 pr is normal RF, 1 pr is Sea green the final pair is a Segreen Hen and normal male. Wondering if colony breeding in a big 6 m aviary is appropriate for these pairs and then advertise young as split for seagreen? Or is it better to house the normals on their own in another aviary and keep the genetics seperate?

Any advice would be appreciated :)

If you have the room breeding as single prs is more productive.

Luke is right colony bred is much less productive, they tend to get too distracted.
You would be better to say the males are possible split seagreen.
Colony breed the orange breasts stars and double bars imo.
