So, I am getting some paint silkie hatching eggs, and have a question after reading all the threads I could find on the topic.
The breeder (as many others do, I have noticed) calls her blacks that result in her paint pen, "split" to paint. I know this is not accurate, so I wanted to verify that I could use ANY black silkie with the paints and any dominant whites that hatch out of these eggs for breeding? Thinking it best to use an unrelated bird, then I would just sell any solid blacks that hatch from these eggs, as they will not "carry" any paint.
Thanks!
