abarkecavalier 2 Report post Posted May 26, 2013 Thank you all for your kind welcome I have a goal to breed crested penguin and Isabel zebra finches I will get there with a little help from people on this forum I need to purchase about 20 Crested Zebra Finches Show size to make a start, I have set aside 30 breeding cages, I already have a good stock of penguins and Isabel zebras so I am ready to make a start.So if you have Crested Zebras for sale please get in touch I have bred thousands of birds in my time breeding several Championship winners and a National winner so know a little bit about gene breeding.Thank you all once again cheers Alf and have a good breeding season I hope to see you all at the big shows.

casamber 60 Report post Posted May 27, 2013 Hi Alf Sounds like a great goal to achieve, i especially like the idea of crested isabels, as that is one of my goals. I hope you have better luck finding cresteds than i am having... I am working on producing OB BB BF combinations at the moment. I am one year into my 3 year plan and thanks to finding to some great BF BB isabels at stafford, i may even produce some this year. Well hopefully lol Kerry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
