Selling the cock I purchased from Jerry, I have another male I am using & 5 of this ones sons in a grow pen. Good luck.
And be careful who you trust at the show, I had someone I thought was a friend help us coop out at a show when I had to give a judge a ride to the airport. We were rushing to get him to the plane on time. Top birds of mine were swapped out with their inferior birds in the show box's when I got...

Hey Jerry,
the dutch white paint male I have from you produced three like this for me so far, one is a pullet the other a cockerel, my facebook page for premier silkies has a few photos, 3 of the white dun babies, three partridge, three grays, one pure white, two creamy whites, and...
I am so sorry Jerry, believe me I know the feeling and it is not a pleasant one. As of right now this list is so small of who has paints it should be pretty apparent when this person pops up and does not show up on a sale list from those of us with them. They do not have much for brains, lol...
I think it depends on the flock & genetics of the individual birds in that flock.
Personal experience for myself:
In 2010 I bred two of my white silkie cocks on the black silkie hens, 50% white, 25% part, 25% black.
The partridge turned out GORGOUS, lol
Ok time to bug you Deb & Bren, never received an email forwarded at the other email acct. you sent yesterday from Sig. And a question, for the euro paints do they have a standard for them? I am talking the color itself, not the body, we all know when we are done they will have the euro paint...
Ummm if you are asking me, no
As an exhibition breeder it is not in your best interest to sell eggs unless you needed money. Which I do not,
My next champion or key bird in the program could have been in that egg or good chick sold. So it is best to let the stock
finish out and than sell what...
oh my gosh that is just tooo funny, as I am painting a room tonight for the 13 year old daughter with some lime green dutch boy semi gloss!
But yes, in my flock the dutch are the dutch bloodline paint silkie boys & than I have the American silkie paints. Only other breed on my place is cochins...
use an eye dropper with a different color in each vent, yellow is not an option, lol but you can mix the food dye to create more colors, it will last a week or two with streaks of color down side of egg as they are laid. Make sure to have your notebook with dye color to each hens leg band/name...
Right now I have a leaky white dutch boy from Jerry on a american paint hen from Judy & a linebred black GM hen in a pen. Also set up a pen for the black dutch boy from Jerry on two of my black hens & one white. Food dye for all the girls to mark the eggs, very curious what will happen from both...
