Thanks, your to kind....i was i bit slow getting started with paints..moved to VA the beginning of the year and had to start over with coops...what a pain...also put a lot of my focus on my polish this year..just did some bird shuffling to focus on paints and try to get a better understanding...fast experiment with a couple eggs this summer did produce 2 paints from my dom white roo over black hen...lot of smutt in them though...

First pic had no spots when it hatched...2nd out of black hen...my babies that hatch from dom white under paint hatch out brilliant white instead of golden that i get from a white roo breeding or the black hen under paint..anybody have any thoughts on why?

After I get my roof on, I'd like to have some of your bloodline. Do you plan on any auctions, or selling in the next month or so? I have had a paint hen for about a year and didn't know it, LOL. I thought she was odd with black feathers in her crest, but that crest was sooooo huge, I had to keep her. Bred her to a white rooster, and she produced 2 offspring that have 1 to 2 spots on them.

I have no idea, how it's working. Sure would be nice to figure it out. The paints do have a lot of smutt color. Kind of an orange color, can't really describe it. My males have it mostly. My girls are pretty white.

I have had several that hatch with no spots, and end up with spots

Drives me crazy

I have them hatch from pure white to a yellow/golden color. Then I get black and blues as well. My blues are pretty good, but the blacks are not really that great. I kept 2 blacks from about 24 that I hatched.

I don't even know how to tell if a bird is dom white or recessive. I must do some learning.
