Last week we looked at possible pairings for the finches, think we have made the right decision - but plenty of time to change our minds - have moved them into different cages - double breeding cages, currently got 2 hens in one side and 2 cocks in the other with a solid divider between. Mind you, today I found one of the cocks peeking around the end of the divider to see the hens - and one of the hens flirting back! I don't want them breeding quite yet as I want to use my 2016 zfs rings when I get them in January. We have put one pair together (because I'm inpatient) and we want to see what we get crossing our black cheek hen with a normal grey cock. Nice nest built - nothing in it yet though! I'll keep checking......

Penny,

Good to see you are making sound progress and hope you enjoyed the 'Newsletter' Probably best time to pair up for ZFS rings would be about 7th December.

What would you like/wish for with that BChen X Normal cock pairing. Or is the cock carrying the BC gene do you know?

don't know whether the cock is split BC or not - just a question of 'wait and see!'
