Thank you. It is so small and so perfect. Two of the other chicks including the RIR x chick show faint spots! Another ten eggs due to hatch over the next few days. Two more paint chicks would give me a total of six for my starter paint pen. That's the goal for this year. My paint male is on average giving one paint in every five chicks.Oh Mumsy, that teensy bitty baby is the cutest one that I have ever seen!!!!
This is a very interesting subject! I'm glad you asked. There is a lot to talk about with this subject, especially regards to using Paint (based on dominate white)Mumsy, a white bred to a white always have white babies right? I bred my white male to one of my white pullets, because both of his paint girlfriends are broody. So, here are pictures of the babies. One is a peachy color - almost the identical color that my CatDance porcelains were at hatch, the other is a yellowish white. Full siblings. Is this normal? I know you have raised whites for a while and I haven't, so I just don't know. I remember reading that white covers up a lot of colors, and as you know chicken genetics and me just don't gel.
I stuck this question here because if any of these whites are female, they will be crossed with my F2 CatDance paint male and become part of my paint project.
I had a third hatch out the following day. In the egg too long (pipped the same day as the other two on the 21st) and I'm having to work on the feet and I only have one picture of her so far. All three are vaulted, with great fur on legs and toes, and they all have 5 toes on each foot. Just the too long shell baby has both it's little outside toes trying to curl under. She has the peachy coloring also.
Not yet. My oldest paint chicks are about eight to ten weeks. I think two of three paint chicks are male. I don't have any Lavender split chicks hatched yet. Yep. I have to use what I have too.Have you noticed any relationship to sex in the color of the down?
What I have noticed using my Lavender roo over all different colors of hens - the chicks are always the hens' color though all are splits. Maybe all the lavender hen's babies will be paint?
Well, I have to use what I have. So I will be test breeding too.
