Paint genetics with silkies

[Akoharski4]

You should not get a pure white from a paint Xs black.
Either she's recessive white which means both parents carried recessive white or she's a paint that actually covered all the black.
Yes use her with your black cockerel.
If they throw any paints she's a paint.
If they throw no paints disregard her.

Paint is already dominant white. It’s both dominant white and black. Paint x black will not give you any “pure” dominant whites, the chicks will either be paint (part dom white and part black) or just black. A white from a paint x white or paint x paint breeding can be bred to black or paint to create more paints.

Thank you

I would say no -- paint rooster x recessive white hen will not give you paints. The odds are generically against it. But if you do try it... Let us know your results.

NO! is the answer to your question. It was answered in at least one post.

Why NO?
And why the reply today? There was no comments since your last no.
I believe the answer could be yes.

I didn’t read all comments so sorry if this has already been said. But I have a dominant white rooster and a black hen. Will they make paints? I was told a dominant white will only produce white chicks
