That's why I was asking originally. I wasn't 100% sure. Whites are somewhat an enigma to me. Paints are the closest to white I've really dealt with. My friend was originally wanting a white rooster for his white hen, but asked me about my paint when I put him up for sale yesterday. I told him I...

Heres the link where Sigi is talking about paint being pigment holes. This has been bugging me all day. I'm like did I dream I read all that stuff lol. http://www.the-coop.org/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=99081

Yeah my porcelain has them too. They are softer and rounded though. Maybe I'm being too hard on the poor boy lol

Definitely. I would love to hear from others too. Thank you so much for the second opinion on my girl :) I would love to figure out how to reproduce that color :D

Yes, I definitely want to get a nice black roo to put over my girls. I have a paint boy for sale. My girls link good, no pigment holes. He has pigment holes in his eyes and some hard tail feathers. Otherwise he's a good looking boy. That the roo my friend is wondering about for his white hen...

That was the point where I was like... wait what? Okay second opinion time. I was confused about the saying there's no pigment holes too. I'm definitely not knowledgeable enough to debate that one though.

Definitely! Me too. It's like this strange paint girl I have. All I know is she hatched from a paint egg and all her siblings are the typical black and white. Generally I thought leakage doesn't show up in large spots like that. I mean she has some sort of spotted diluted patches. Her spots are...

This other fella just totally confused me =\

OK very cool. I told him what Soran said and that I would totally trust her opinion on it, as she knows her stuff with silkies.

I definitely want to hear what you guys experienced in paints have to say. Still learning :)

I really have no clue about him. Yes he sounds like he knows what he's talking about. Yet I always learned that the spots were from the pigment holes in the dominant white, which was why other paint colors could be possible. So Sigi says black or dilution spots. I need her book lol.

Here's a link to the thread. If you're on the group you should be able to see it. It's the silkie breeders group on fb. Soran had responded earlier, I totally trust her especially on genetics. Like I said though, if my girl is not actually a paint, okay cool, but I was almost certain paints were...

This thread had all started over a friend of mine interested in my paint roo. He isn't so interested in breeding big time, but basically was wondering if he used my paint roo over his white hen, what they would throw. I had said this just as a question when he said something about it always...

That was me with the lavender spots lol. It was that bird I just posted that inspired that thought. He is sayin that paint is not pigment holes? I always read it was.

That's what I thought! I mean I'm totally open to feedback, but it was not at all what I had learned from reading this thread. I referred him to the blue paint thread. He tried to say my girl might just have leakage. I mean that's fine, if that's what it is, but it's awfully spot patterned to...
