The American Paint Silkie

I'm looking for quality paint silkie hatching eggs. If anyone knows of any breeders please let me know. Thank you!

Hi!

I bought three silkies today, one being a Paint Silkie from a local breeder today and was curious if you guys know how it will turn out - if it really is a Paint Silkie.




^ This picture is from today. According to the breeder, the one on the left (Keira) is Lavender,
the one in the middle (Aspen) is Paint, and the last one on the right (Dakota) is Blue. Aspen is currently a week old (this picture was taken today) while the other two just hatched yesterday!


^ This picture is from the breeders ad. Mine is the one behind the middle one but basically this is how her Paint Sikies look when they are hatched or a day after hatching.

How do you think the Paint one's will turn out? Do any of your chicks look like this? Also, not to hijack the thread but is the light gray one really Lavender?

Thank you! This is my first time raising silkies.. they sure are cute! I'm actually returning today to pick up the other paint silkie in the bottom picture (the one in the front) and another one. I haven't decided the other color yet!

Aww! I can't wait to see how your birds turn out! Do you have any other breeds?

I'm curious about raising paints. If I wanted to go in that direction would it be good to work on building my white and black flock up or start with paints?
