Ok I hope this doesn't sound stupid but it the experts say this isn't a paint then what is it?????
And why can't you get paint from paint to white breeding???

The thinking is IF black is underneath that recessive white. Now think on that. LOL

IF there is black under the recessive white it should throw paint chicks... or I should say a percentage of paints. Correct?

If I am understanding it right...not F1s but F2s will possibly. This is uncharted territory for sure.

Total newbie here but OOOOH love these pics all of you have on. Is there anyone in Oregon you know breeding/selling and ballpark prices? I'm back into chickens but loved my silkies as a 4-h kid years ago and feeling the need for them again. Thanks
