Today, I had 3 zebra finches fledge from their nest. We have 1 CFW and 2 that are darker colour than fawn but a lighter colour than normal. The father is a Normal charcoal and the mother is a fawn. Here are some pictures.
Any help would be great

Dates on pictures are wrong

thanks

The CFW you think would be Split and if it came from the Grey Charcoal and a Fawn and then the parents must have CFW in them as well. To much for me that is why you should keep them in the same colours as each time you keep puting the young to something the hidden colour keeps going into the next colour etc etc ten you wont have pure colours. The Fawn young will be Split as well they wont be pure.

Just checked Harvs baby zebs and noticed that one can not fly very well,he can not get to the perch,he is very small compaired to the other 2 babies.
Should i help him out and put him on the perch,i think he was the last one born..

Also noticed his baby canary trying to get out of the nest in the canary cabinet,harv will be happy if its out when he gets home..
