The all White "Dark Eyed" Society

.THE ALL WHITE "Dark eyed" SOCIETY------
Believe it or not, the Dark eyed White Society is not a self, even though it is all white, it is a pied bird. Thats correct, the Dark eyed White Society is actually a Pied Society, which does not have any colored patches. These all white birds are produced whenever heavy Marked White Society finches are bred to each other. Often two heavily Pied "Marked Whites" will produce 25 to 50% all Whites in a nest. If two Dark eye Whites are int bred the majority of the offspring will be Solid Whites, but not all. Often times crossing two all White will produce an occasional Pied offspring.

My white crested dark eyed female and my white dark eyed male had seven babies that fledged last week. Out of the seven there are two solid white, dark eyed, one crested and one is not. The other five are pied and 3 of them are crested. I really want to breed the white and these are a new blood line.
