I Agree with Trevor he is spot on with the pairing to fawns and keeping the hens away from any cock birds till your ready to breed.Paul.

Hello RicardoWelcome back to the wonderful world of Zebra finchesPaul.

Hello and welcome to the forumPaul.

Hi DamianI have kept and bred gouldian finches and i found the heats is not so much for the adult birds but more for the breeding season,as the parents dont sit the chicks right up till they are fully feathered and cold tempratures will kill them off,any adult birds should be ok as long as they are aloud to acclimatise to any change in temprature,i kept mine in the same shed as my zebra's and they got no extra heat only to keep the frost off and during breeding,all my chicks were parent raised and i did quite well with them.Hope this post is of some use to you.Paul

Pleased too help Trevor i use an online site which i have always found very useful here's the link zebrafinch.infoPaul.

Apparently the breeding results of Fawn cheek cock X Normal Hen are25% Normal/Fawn Males25% Fawn Females25% Cheeked (SF) /Fawn Males25% Cheeked (SF) Fawn FemalesAnd Fawn cheek cock X Grey cheek hen are25% Cheeked (SF) /Fawn Males12.5% Fawn Females25% Cheeked (SF) Fawn Females12.5% Normal/Fawn Males12.5% Cheeked (DF) /Fawn Males12.5% Cheeked (DF) Fawn FemalesHope this helps Trevor,as far as im aware it would work like a Fawn Cock to Normal Hen Pairing but with some carring the corresponding cheeked mutation.I did breed a Fawn cock to a Grey cheek hen and the results were1 Fawn Hen2 Fawn Cheeked HensPaul.

Wayne if you check out the Zebra finch society website and look at the show results section,there are a few breeders listed who won this year with penguin's.Hope this helps.Paul.
