I also have black cockerels up on featherauction.com for sale. If you need new blood for your paint breeding, they would be a great addition. Just look for Crested Horizon Poultry

I have a quick question....I have 1 paint rooster that has like only 2 back feathers on him..one in the base of the tail and one in the wing. I am breeding him to 2 of my best black hens. What are my chances that the paint chicks will have more black on them?

 

[jenlynn4]

well ok he has like maybe 3 black feathers in his tail but they are small ones. His spots were bigger when he was little. I still hope he is carrying the gene so the babies may have hope. Here is a pic of his tail:

and here he is: (he also has a creamy color to him now but I still have hope...maybe??? lol)

JennLynn, he should give you paint babies. As long as he's from paint breeding, which he is, he'll be carrying the gene. There are reports that even solids from paint can produce paint offspring.

I have found I like breeding mine to white even better than using black. They don't seem to suffer from the pigment holes that breeding to black does. Of course I need to do more breedings from the two colors to verify.
