tina1977 12 Report post Posted March 19, 2013 Hello, I have a fawn hen with a deep red colour around her pupil. Is this common in fawns or can any mutation have red eyes like this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tina1977 12 Report post Posted March 20, 2013 I want to breed her to get more red eyed zebra's. Will i get some babies with red eyes if she is mated to ones with black eyes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulm 119 Report post Posted March 20, 2013 Hi It depends if the black eyed Zebra finch is split for red eyed as this recessive mutation work the same as other recessive mutations. Paul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
