I do not think there is any way to tell what they would look like until you actually breed them and see for yourself , it is just a wait and see. I think it would be very exciting just to find out what color is the more predominate of the two.

Hi,

The babies would be colored according to which traits are genetically dominant in the finches that you are breeding together. I found the following link to be helpful in learning about dominant and recessive genes in finches:

I hope this helps!

it really depends; phenotype genetics is very complex, beyond just the basic Gregor Mendel typography. You can expect some greys and CFW's

It is so hard to predict. Too many variables!
