That is good to know. I missed all the hype before 2012 about the Porcelain, Lavender, and Paint varieties. Everything I know now is already dated. You have far better knowledge than I do about what is going on in the show world since I pretty much just read about it and look at pictures.
I'm a member of the Silkie Club as of last year and didn't vote on anything. Blue Cream for Porcelain is something I've read but still confuses me. There is already so much confusion about Blue and Lavender. I don't have any Blue birds in my flock for the reason I don't want to pollute my Lavender bred birds. (When I get enough Lav in my breeding) that is. I just have one Lavender hen and the one Paint cock. I've never hatched an egg between the two.
From what I could find on BYC, quite a few red paint birds like yours have popped up from Catdance bred Paints. Most came from Paint x recessive white. This makes me feel that the red Pyle is leaked from the dominate white in Karen's Paints. My catdance paint male seems silver. I will be so interested to see if he throws red leakage in offspring from my recessive white hens. Or will the silver gene dominate and prevent it? Another thing I'm waiting on are these three white chicks I have now. I've read some plain white chicks from Karen's paint strain develop black and red feathers after eight weeks. To find out, I will grow out every chick I hatch from Dapper Dan.
