Red Zebra Finches
Posted: 09 Aug 2014, 21:45
Hi all
I decided to delve into red zebs after looking for them for so long.
The birds I got a the rejects of some very nice full fronted reds so I am hoping to develop some nice reds from these. They are big birds with a lot or red right through them (will post some pics later).
Can anyone direct me to some articles on the genetics?
I have a base understanding when it comes to zebs but all the sites I have been looking at just take me to genetic calculators or very thin articles.
From what I understand I can enhance the red colouring through the feathers by crossing them to black fronted.
