Are they red factors? 

They carry the gene but haven’t colour fed 

[gnipper 6,426]

Are you going to colour them?

Normals and cinny's with the red polls bud ?,what ever they are well done little crackers..

Isabel mate, they both jumped first and one has died and I caught a quail after the other so I took the quail out and then I caught the dad attacking it so it's getting hand reared the last bit. He's fine with the darker chicks so the next round are getting swapped with a canary.

Birds only take the colour into the feather as the feather is being made so unless it's fed just before and during the moult you won't get a proper colouring..

Lovely mules and just total cracking isabel redpolls,such a funny little bird and one day there'll be some back in a flight in my garden for sure..

Although they're just little brown birds that don't sing they are lovely little things aren't they. I need some unrelated isabels to pair these I've bred to as all mine are close bred now.

They are lovely little things I would be well proud of them gnipper, there is a man on a another web site who has bred canary x red hooded siskin's they look great. Got me sold on them to the extent I'm going to Newark on the 3rd to get me self a pair to put with my fife canary's next year. I keep a lot of Siberian bullfinch, and the fife canary's are a nice distraction, when things don't go to plan with them.
