I have a heterozygous dominant white rooster with multiple black hens and one blue cuckoo hen.
I thought that when bred to a black hen (when he actually gives his copy of white to a chick) it would always result in paints. So far I've only managed to hatch one paint and many, many plain whites. So even if a chick is 1 copy of dominant white over black can it not be paint and just be plain white? Or does this mean those chicks that are white have a different color underneath the white that is not black? I'm not sure what color or pattern my rooster may have under the white.
