What's wrong with their feathers?

[hippiehen]

I just read this entire thread from page 1 and now I feel like some brainwashed zombie...

"...must.... have.. fuzzies...."

Wonder if they would cross well with my blue cochins...

Has anyone bred these to other colors besides BBS?

I don't know about anyone else, but I plan to cross my fluffy rooster to BBS and W/BW hens.

I'll be putting mine in with my Paint Ameraucana project and my Lav and Wheatons, one color at a time to get different projects.

Here are the Paints:

I also have Blue Paints, but I think they'd be too washed out by the Splash markings mixed with the Paint pattern, so I am going to make sure it's a single copy of Blue.

Renee!!! I have a silkie/EE cross that is this color, and I've never been able to figure it out - is it actually *paint*???

Wow. Just like so many others, just finished reading this whole thread. Amazing roller coaster ride! Of course, I want some of my own now for sure!

Mine is, because of the way it will predictably breed when put with specific colors, but you can find out on yours by using a pure black or pure white bird- go read the characteristics of the gene on the paint silkie thread- it's a bit variable still from what predictions there are...but it'll help you!

Where on earth did you get Paint Ameraucanas??!?!?!

How is their egg color?

ETA: If you're in need of some Wheaten/Blue Wheaten stock for your Silkied project, I would totally consider an egg trade. My girls lay lovely shades of blue to blue-teal eggs. My birds are from Ribbeck stock, however by the end of the summer my flock will include birds from Ribbeck, Smith, Blehm and Meredith.
