Ok to use great breeder stock and the put them back into original pens (after month so eggs dont slip in from paint) but avoid putting this offspring back into "normal" breeding stock

Oh I will never mix any paint offspring with my "normal" breeding flock. I don't want to destroy my blacks, blues, splashes, whites or buffs. Paint Offspring stays strictly with paint offspring.

Before I introduce my breeding birds back into any flock, they definitely will not be producing any paint offspring.

I understand what you guys are saying now.

Thanks The concern is those selling outcrops as pure "solids" then those gens getting mixed into standard color flocks etc.

Folks, lets keep the discussion of breeding techniques to the thread in the Breed/Gender section. This is an auction - if you're not interested, then move on. The OP has been clear where their bird came from.

hoppy, if I bid..as I'd like to get some paints even thought they will most likely not hatch...thanks to shipping and my hatching DISabilities.

Can you guarantee that I will hatch pure paint silkie eggs? As in, the chicks will be paint in color and not have been from the mixed breed "sizzle" pens? I'd hate to bid and wind up not getting what I'm after.

I am marking all the eggs from which pen they came and if I know which hen they came from. so if you don't want to hatch any of the sizzle eggs and you win the auction, just remind me and I won't send the sizzles. I can't guarantee they will hatch out with spots, I can only guarantee which pen I take them from and all the sizzles are only in one pen. does this clarify what you will get?

 

[rodriguezpoultry]

I'll have to think on it. When I think of paints, I think of white birds with defined black spots. Anything without spots seems like a white that could produce possible paints, but you can't be sure because they hatched out all white with no black at all. Or will these hatch out a different color than white?

Do you have any photos of the offspring from your paint pen? That way I can tell if they are what I'm after?

With paints you can hatch paints, blacks, blues, partridge, white, champagne color and so on. Even the paint to paint breeding will not yield 100% paint offspring. She has some very lovely birds she has with this boy, so you should get a few nice paint babies.

I have eggs in the incubator right now from this breeding. what you really would want to see is birds that are 5-6 months old and I don't have those yet except in my sizzle pen. I have 12 week old babies from the hens using my silkie roos but that wouldn't do you any good since that's only 50% of the genes.

I learned a TON from this discussion. Glad it was not buried in the genetics/breeds section.
