By white do you mean white and blue? or pure white... White an blue is alot easier to create in numerous mutations than Pure white Have you read up on breeding info and so on, to make sure you're totally prepared before beginning to breed? Cage, vet funds, knowledge, medicines, diet etc? Edited July 27, 2008 by *libby* Link to comment

By the sounds of what you own a totally white bird will not be acheivable from these mutations. Fruit is not an essential food, leafy greens are better (e.g. bok choy and so on) and grated carrots, crushed eggs... During breeding Seed and water should be made avaliable at all times in ample supplies and greens frequently. Supplements such as calcium are also an essential. There's alot more to breeding than just feeding the birds and hoping for the best, if you do it this way you're setting yourself up to be knocked down and the birds to come to harm. Link to comment
