The problem is, many American gamefowl (regardless of color) have split white sickle feathers (mottling gene?) so I would be inclined to overlook the sickle feathers on the white bird. I still have to take photos of my adult Silkies although they are not fully grown. It is tough to tell with...

Sorry, double post (mods, please delete).

Here is the group of buffs, ginger reds, partridge, whites and the paint. You can see that he is a white chick with black patches. Definintely not splash.

These are not mine (though I wish). This line always breeds true though and always produces this color. The paints I have are purebred silkies. I bought them from a seller on eggbid six years ago. I read that only paints can come from paints but possibly they are genetically paint and appear...

What is this then? It sure looks like paint. If it is paint, then it is recessive. You can see the base color (probably BBR) showing through and he might have the mottled gene too as many American gamefowl do (which show on the tailfeathers). I find it extremely interesting. While I did not...

I was wondering about the genetics myself. There are only six feather patterns in chickens so I am thinking it is a maximally expressed mottling or speckling gene. They are genetically solid colored birds, not white. The paint Silkies I have cropped up by accident from a brother and sister...

Quote: Do you have photos of them? No photos, but I can take some. I think I have a photo of one of the chicks with the last batch of buffs that I hatched. He is not from the buffs but is in WITH them so as not to confuse anyone. Is there a way to attach files here or do I have to upload them...

Forgot to mention that they came out of a brother/sister mating.

I have some but never thought it was a big deal. They came out of one of my black hens from eggs that I got from a breeder in Florida. They have vaulted skulls and plenty of type.
