The American Paint Silkie

does anyone know if gold leakage on a black roo would bleed through onto paint biddies?

my khaki does not breed like other khaki/choc/dun. with mine, only one parent has to be khaki. I will be breeding his son and daughters to see what I get this spring. the reason i get blue paint from paint to splash is the paint is actually black and black x splash only give blue- hence, blue paints.
that is a beautiful roo!

Yes very cool..is khaki a prelude to breeding in brown/chocolate?
Blue paint from paint-splash...interesting...I have a very nice splash pullet that won BV at my first show this year I might put her in with him...I am wondering if the paint over blue will give me anything worth keeping...BUT no one is laying and it is driving me crazy!

HI it would cost about $65 to ship a bird to you so it gets pricey...also i wont ship in the cold as my birds are all in a warm environment so i have to ship spring and fall so they get there in good condition....

Zack, a paint can show spots at hatch BEFORE it dries. If you want to see the spot pattern on a paint, just wet it down. The "spots" don't develope over time, they are there from the get go. The problem with chick down is that it is think, and MOST people do not see the feathers that have the dark spots until they grow longer when the chicks are a few weeks old. But like an appaloosa horse, you see the spots very clean on their summer coat because it is short, during the winter when the horses hair is longer the pattern appears more roaning or in silkies, splash.

Actually I've found the exact opposite with my blue paints. All my paints have been hatching out white and then develop spots as they get older. The blue paint roo I posted that is loudly marked hatched out completely white and developed spots as he aged. I'm not talking about a 1 year old bird being white and then turning paint after a couple years but mine have been hatching out white and developing color in the grow out pens.
