It is common in paints and it will darken unless you have pigment holes which are very common in paints also.. Pics of the new cuties..

If any of these are hens I can breed them back to dad right?

Also can you breed paint to White?

Yes I can breed offspring to parent but not offspring to offspring and yes u can breed paint to white but only for a couple generations or they will get a yellowish color to them

You can but you will probably only get white chicks. Even with Paint x Paint breedings White pops up.

Why not offspring to offspring?

Why not offspring to offspring?

it condenses too much of any bad genes
