  1. Kareem I am thinking of going for Florida Fancy. However, I am planning to go for Fawn and CFW and CCFW. But this is as uphill task since too many split birds are produced during the process. Regards
  2. Some of my new chicks. Inshallah will keep updating their new pics.
  3. These are some of my home breed chicks. I am certain that these are combos of BC and OB but just confirmation for members as well.
  4. All birds will be split to BC and Pied. All females will be either LB or FAWN All males will the split to either LB or FAWN

    Ob?

    How about using the female as a foster parent? I would have given her a chace on this.
  6. None of them is BF. In BF females, lores are of the same colour as the body. Both of your females have white lores whereas they should have fawn lores to be BF. In colurs other than grey, its become difficult to visually distinguish BF factor in females. Further, the tear mark is driven away by BB and OB gene. If tail marking is horizontal and tear mark is missing, then its definitely an OB. If tail marking is vertical, then its BB. The OB gene can be traced by looking at the small feathers inside the arm, They show a some orange colour if OB gene is present in the bird. Hope this helps.
  7. Beautiful Bird Can you please share the pic of Triple Black female. I just want to try to identify the difference between BFBB hen and triple black hen.
  8. The male in the latest pic shared by Mister Finch could be a recessive light back silver. These kind of males pop up in breeding LB. This is definitle not a BC. However, he seems to be split for BB due to hour glass tail marking and extended white lores. @Trevor: Silver BC are called Isabel BC here in Pakistan. This is not the correct explaination but has become the name name here for the males shared by Mister Finch in the top 3 pics of the first post and the female sharer by Scott in post # 13. Hope this helps.
  9. Silver BC are very common in Pakistan and Lahore as well.They are available in local and imported breed as well. They are a bit expense than Fawn BC but far cheaper than CFW BC and locally called as Isabel BC. So good luck for your hunt for Silver BC.
  10. @ Mister Finch You are also a member of Birdsplanert and Birdstalk and this has been discussed at length on these forums. However, for the sake of your ease, the following applies in case of Finches: - crested is a dominant gene in finches and there is no concept of crest bred like budgies. So, pairing Crested (male or female) with non-crested counterpart ideally produces 50% crested birds and 50% normal; however the figures do change in actual meaning no crested in one clutch and all cresteds in the other clutch - crested to crested pairing increases the probability of having cresteds from 50% to 75% but one is better off by pairing creseted to non-crested as this increases the overll number of crested birds to be produced from 2 crested birds. - BC or any other gene doesnot affect the crested gene. Hope this helps and wish you good luck for the new clutch. I have been able to breed BC crested in different colurs and OBBB cresteds following crested to non-crested pairing and Inshallah will produce EUMO crested in the near future.
  11. Mister Finch Since she is offspring of grey BCs, she cant be Fawn Cheek. Fawn Cheek [FC] (as this is internationally known) is a dominant mutation, so you can not have a FC with grey BC parents. You have to learn more about the terms that are used interntonally. You are right that here in Pakistan BC are BC if its grey, FC if its Fawn, Silver Cheek if its Silver and WC is its white (it is called CFW internationally, white is called 'solid white' in Pakistan). So, try to refer to the terms that are used internationally so that forum members can guide you properly. BC internationally means that the 'cheek patch' is 'black'. Cheek patch varies from dark black to light fawn and from full patch to a thick black tear. Hope this helps.
  12. Hi Dimitri Is it possible to identify if: - a BF is a split to BC - a BF is a split to BB - a BC is a split to BB If yes, please guide as to how?
  13. Ali From the pic that you uploaded, its not a pair. Both are females. The grey one is a female, she has got slight black flanks and stripes on the chest which is not uncommon in BC females but conisered as a show fault. The other female is Fawn Pied BC but its cheek patch is very light (watch out its its left cheek where black colour of cheek is ending before it can reach half of the cheek). She will not be a good option to breed BC as the some of the chicks will have very light cheek patch. By the way, wher do you live? From pics of your cage, its like asia.
  14. Thanks Stefan I am a bit confused about a Fawn female that I have purchased as a "OBBB". Since the bird is an imported one, so the seller is unable to offer any help on genetoc side. The said female has black line along with the beak and has unicloloured tail coverts. So, she is not OB at all (as per my knowledge; please confirm). She is also showing the a light black line in the chest and the cheek patch is waht have explianed for BBBC. So, I am inclined that she is BBBC. I will try to post a few pics of her for guidence. Best regards
  15. Stefan The lacing in the flying feathers is almost gone for all the females. Futher, the tail coverts are uni-coloured and there is no vertical black marking on them. Can you possibly compare these features with your BB hens to see if there is any difference. Best regards
