recessive white breed to recessive white makes white if u breed a recessive white to another color you get other colors

I thought recessive white bred to other colors would typically produce white since the recessive white covers up other colors. Dominant white allows for leakage.

recessive colors usually take 2 live lavender u need 2 lavender genes to get lavender

as long u breed white to white ur going get white no mater if it dom or recessive
now i have it right a dom white well through white breed to any thing

Ok, now I got it !!! Thanks Chickendales. I thought that but this old brain well, is old.
Ok now, if a Dom white bred to say a blue throws a white chick, then that chick is now a recessive white?
Still wanna learn more about that silver gene white, I have hens and roos of that color.

I don't think there is anyone, at this point, that can say dom white to recessive white will always produce whites. Fact is, I'm getting paints out of paint to recessive white. If your statement were true I should not be getting paints since the recessive covers other colors. And if the bird is a dom white Silkie chances are it originated from paint. Breeders are reporting they are getting paints out of the solid color birds from paints, white included.

Paint does not behave the same as the other understood colors and that is being worked on. Answers to those questions are going to take time.

if im thinking right recessive white is like lavender you need to bird that carry the white gene to produce white all the time
with paint you can produce white bird witch is a paint just happens not to have black spots so bird apear white even though geneticly it paint

dom white means all babies doesn't matter what they are bred to will produce whites
ress. means it can hide and pop out in other colors

Yes, I'm working on it. Other than the 2 porcelains, I sold off everything but my paints and blacks to focus on them. I was considering doing a lavender/porcelain pen, but I think I've changed my mind. I also have a lavender chick and a buff chick that were to be added to the future porcelain/lavender pen that I'll probably be selling.
