Meroman 105 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 a good clean thread lads,did anyone ever visit the show at eec before the twats stopped it,was a great day out. Good stuff. I'm interested in breeding Linnet cross Goldfinch next season, any one any experience in this hybid? Not a very good cross mate they are poor color and are usually mad as hell better muleing with linnets or maybe pair one to a bullfinch and try your luck. I agree most linnet crosses lack colour even when colour fed linnet hybrids dont colour up well. The nicest one is by far the Linnet/Bullie especially if its a yellow cock bird.
