I candle my eggs, but the father was actually assist hatch hand raised. So he is used to humans. I honestly would never even go near the eggs if he didn't trust me, he always sits very tight and goes right back on if i take an egg to candle. I candle twice, once after three days of constant sitting, and again three days before the hatch date. just so i know if the egg is still alive.
Good luck!

That is a hen for sure Unless it is a male with very little cartenoids!! doubt it. Do you know what mutation she is? You should take a look at Finchforum.com, People love breeding journals, especially zebras because of their many mutations. she is pretty! She is orange breasted right? the male and she are perfect! |

OB and also CFW i think... CFW is sex linked so if both the father and the mother are OB CFWs then all the chicks will be Orange breasted Chestnut Flanked Whites. If the mother for some reason is not CFW then the female babies will be OBCFW and the males will be Orange breasted normals or whatever mother is...
