all cracking cock birds them Nick. nice shape and lovely head width. they all look natural in show cages. like Emmy says think rosettes are on the horizon for you their sir. Do you have any good 2015 hens to go with them?

hi I am with fetchingfinches on this one! she does not look well.

I would split them up and put her in a hospital cage/or cage on her own near a heat source.  can not see from the photo if her tail is dipping ???. she could be egg bound. it's that time of year that birds naturally want to breed even if you do not encourage them too.

[Hello From Croatia!]

I agree with Emmy on the cock bird but I think the hen is normal too.

[What's Your Favourite Colour Mutation ?]

^{normal all the way for me by far my favourite. I do have a soft spot for light backs although I have never bred any or know the best way to do it.}

[Breeding/unfortunate]

I would remove the in fertile eggs then let them run. unless you have other pairs that you could foster them out too. I have in the past had single birds raise clutches of chicks. you need to make sure lots and lots off food and treats and it does put a lot of stress on the loan parent but they can adapt. in the wild they would not give up.

 

sorry for your loss

[Need Help Re Sick? Zebra Finch]

 my thoughts too are what did the other die of ???. separation and warmth would be the way to go to start with. and make sure it has access to food and water your friend could try tempting it with its favourite treat. if its a hen and the tail is dipping she could be egg bound.

^{really nice birds you have. love the buff feather. you must be very pleased with them.}

[Creams]

stunning birds you have there. love the shape and look well matched.  get ready for a few rosettes with them I think.

[3Rd Time Lucky?]

your video works fine  

[Normal Cock]

those look like lovely birds. normals have always been my favourite colour. especially like the hen in the 5 photo, well done. you must be well happy with them.

[My First Ever Zebra Finches]

Bengalese make fantastic foster parent's. an you always remember where the eggs came from. I remember spending hours watching mine just so I could sex them as I think only the cock bird sings.

I too think your cock bird is a light back. definitely a handsome looking fella.  your hen is a very lucky girl.

[New Mutation For Me]

very nice chick.  looks very healthy

[My Young Cfw]

nice pair of birds. the hen is a lovely shape, little bit dark round the head but still a cracking example. are they this years breeders? 

[Normal Cock]

both those chicks have a lovely shape to them. think you could have a winning pair on your hands with them.
