Nice chick, Psycoforsilkies! Really nice dark feet, beak and eyes. That's a keeper!!

Hopefully in another week and a half or so you'll have some beautiful spots!! How are they coming, have you candled? Sent lots of hatching dust with them... hope all is going well!

This question may be answered somewhere further back in the 119 pages of this thread already, sorry if I'm redundant. Have a black roo with gorgeous type I want to use on my paints to improve type and reduce off color. The black roo has rust leakage though. Will that impact? I can't even do a test hatch now bc everyone's broody. I paid a fortune for this guy and am wondering if I should keep looking for another roo. Thanks!!

I am using a black roo with a bit of leakage with a couple of my paints. The babies are born nice and white, but I am noticing when they get older they are getting smutty, but I am not seeing and red leakage, per say, just the dirty looking hackles, so I don't know if it has anything to do with the rooster or if I just need to go yet another generation to get the smut out. Would be interested to hear what others have to say! I do have a beautiful black cockerel that I can't wait to use with the paints, but still waiting for him to grow up!

Not sure if it's ok to post this here or not, so moderators, please remove if not, but I do have some paint and partridge eggs up for auction if anyone is interested...

Thanks Linda. I've heard it can take 3-4 generations of crossing back to black to get rid of the champagne off-color in paints, so it's probably not your roo. My guy has more than just a little leakage though- he has a flood! But came from 2 black parents. And otherwise is a wow bird. What to do what to do....
