What color could my silkies be?

This is Cloud at 9 weeks old. I'm pretty sure his mom was paint t and dad was buff. Hes a beige color with buff in the tips of his wings and tail. Seems to have a couple darker red spots in his wings. They sort of remind me of the spots that paints have.

Pics aren't a 100% but the closest I could get to what he looks like.

Also could he produce paint chicks? I think he has dominant white, considering dad was either buff or black (probs buff) and a couple hens were paint. Hopefully by breeding to black I might get some paints.

He is most likely dominant white with some other color leaking through from other genetics. You can try breeding him to a really nice black hen and see what happens.

Thanks sadly I don't have a black hen only that paint girl.

If you breed paint to paint you’ll get around 50% paint, 25% black and 25% dominant white. Though you probably won’t get the nice big spots that are desirable in paints.
Worth a try though!

Thanks! I'll probably breed him to my black hens. I have 3 black hens and I'll probably be keeping 1 black pullet and a blue partridge cockerel.

Here's a newer picture of the pretty boy.
