Paint silkie?

[ChloeSilkie08]

I’m so confused. I just got this chick from eggs I assumed to be from my laying flock but it’s white with black spots. I only have black copper marans roosters. I’m wondering if somehow I put a silkie egg underneath my hen? I have a recessive white silkie roo but I don’t know how that would result in a paint. I understand silkies would have black skin but could it be albino? And paints can be hard to get dark skin on. What could cause this?

Not a silkie.

Looks like a Cochin, or a splash Marans

What hens are in your laying flock?

No Cochins in the flock and the spots are solid black not blue

What hens are in your laying flock?

Colombian Wyandotte
Austra White
Swedish Flower are the only ones with white and I know for a fact it isn’t a Colombian for sure. The Swedish is blue with white flecks

I have a ton of other breeds but this is what has white

The Austra White is the mom.
AWs are a white leghorn cross. Your chick got her one copy of dominate white. The speck is the incomplete job DW does when there's only one gene.
Pretty much what a paint is also.
