Is Erminette a breed or feather color?

Just a little clarification needed from experts please…

A breed. The color that Erminettes are is paint. Some people use the term Erminette for the color paint but it’s a lot easier just to say paint.

Perfect. Thank you. Would you happen to know if I could breed for Paint if I crossed a BCM Roo over White Orpington hens?

No. Orpingtons are recessive white, apparently.

Hello all. There is a book on Erminettes called THE AMERICAN ERMINETTE that is now available on Amazon. For anyone interested in learning more about the breed, I encourage you to go and check it out.

Happy New Year!

It is both a breed and a color.
