The American Paint Silkie

I definitely want to hear what you guys experienced in paints have to say.
Still learning

I think your friend would get some whites, but he should expect to get other colors as well. If he just wants white he can sell those chicks that aren't white. I believe it was Mumsy that bred her paint roo over white hens and got an adorable hatch with two paint babies and a couple of blacks and partridge if I am remembering right.

OK very cool. I told him what Soran said and that I would totally trust her opinion on it, as she knows her stuff with silkies.

I'm still learning too! I think we all are. I just swallow hard and jump in with both feet, and hope I don't steer anyone in the wrong direction!

This other fella just totally confused me =\

 

[Fur N Feathers]

Exactly! She is the best IMHO!!!

 

[CheshieChick]

Definitely! Me too. It's like this strange paint girl I have. All I know is she hatched from a paint egg and all her siblings are the typical black and white. Generally I thought leakage doesn't show up in large spots like that. I mean she has some sort of spotted diluted patches. Her spots are definitely the whole feather too.

I read your facebook link several times now, and I actually agree with what the young man is saying. I think he is trying to expound on Sonoran's comment. The only thing I really disagree on is he doesn't believe your girl is paint and I think she is. I think because he doesn't see any black feathers he doesn't believe she is paint.

Well poo, I guess Suzierd got off before commenting. She has some really nice paints. It's just you and I on here again now.

I like your girl's color. If that is lavender spots I'm not sure how you would go about reproducing it, if you wanted to. But she should definitely have some paint babies. If you bred her with a rooster of color rather than a paint, that would tell you for sure if she is paint.
