Cute, cute. I don't have paints but am curious. What color toenail is acceptable for the project? Nice toe placement by the way.

Thanks Mr. Jerry! I appreciate you giving me a pair and some eggs! They are already in my incubator. SO excited to have a few paints. Will upload pictures soon Elite! My broody accepted the paints already. She had some chicks the same age. I plan on crossing the paints with these Mr. Jerry. You didn't see many of my blacks.

Will let yall know what they produce. I will still keep breeding pure blacks too though along with my paint project. Can't believe I had the opportunity to get some rare paints to work with. Should be fun breeding these guys!

so new, I'm not aware of an acceptable toenail color, i have some with with white toenails, some with black and some with both black and white.

Pretty sure the standard doesn't specify toenail colour.

I don't think they do either. I know a lot of splash have white/ lighter toe nails and they do fine at shows. Isnt the eye color supposed to be black also? I need to reread the standards again.
