I had some questions back on page 909 post 9089 I think it was the page is right. Could somebody that breeds paints take a look. I could sure use some answers because I have no idea.

After pipped it could be 10 minutes or it could be a day. I think the average time would probably be 2-4 hours? Once it starts zipping you know it'll be out soon

Just some input. I actually have a blue that if you look at her very closely she has a tint of brown on her outside wing feathers and only on the tips. And, it wasn't until she moulted the first time that I even noticed it

This hen was bought as a chick from a very reputable breeder and I guess sometimes things happen. Maybe someone in the middle of the night snuk out and into a pen they weren't supposed to be in? Anyway, I can definitely say that I had a blue pullet and now have a hen with some very faint partridge leakage. But, I still love her!!!

She is the best broody momma and is sooo sweet letting me pick her up everyday to make her go potty, eat, and drink. I swear if I didn't she would forget!!!

I don't breed them so sorry i can't help. But, I know there is a woman on here her username begins with Jen.... with numbers. She breeds them. Maybe if you look her up under the user list and see if she breeds paints you could PM her and get the answers you need
