    The chipmunk stripes on the back lead me to believe it will be a wheaton/columbian/ partridge color. I really don't know. When the wing feathers come in, maybe post a picture later. . I raise Paints and have never had stripes on the back like that. Random spots. Not stripes. The second chick...

    Last summer I put my Paint male with my Lavender female and the above chicks were the result. Paints, Lavenders (Self Blues), a light Splash, and a dark Splash were the results. I don't know if the very dark pullets are Blue or Lav Splits. They are in test hatch pens now. I love the unexpected...
