Madison show us some of your paints!
Poultryprincess I don't think it's a crap shoot to get paints really and when you get one it's such a nice surprise, I think you should try them!

I wonder what this looks like in a non-silkied chicken. I've got some mutts out there with black splashes that I wonder if they're not actually paint.

Here are a few, I don't have many pictures at the moment. Working on paint naked necks, frizzle/sizzle paints, smooth sizzle paints...lots of feather varieties too. Must admit, I do love my paints <3

Thanks for asking Kenya!

For clarification, the frizzled sizzle paint above was growing out...much more developed now...and I think it's a rooster. For once, that's okay! Breed on paint-sizzle!

NOOOOOOO these "Paints" are toooooo good looking!!!
I can feel the tug of LUV for Paints, they are adorable.
<3 You BOTH have such BEAUTIFUL Birds - ackkkkkk <3

So if I'm going by the chart, it would be best to get "only" Paints!?
From a pair of Paints, I will still end up with Black & White, with only about 50% Paint color.
I'm guessing the Black & white offshoots still breed true to their color.

THANK YOU madison174 & Kenya for sharing your pictures!!!!

Poultryprincess, I've found the whites from a paintxpaint breeding aren't as nice as my regular whites, so I stick with paintxblack. But both white and black from a paint breeding will breed true to their colour (from my experience). The paints are still relatively new and need some work, but we're getting there.

No, you need a paint to get a paint. Preferably paint rooster over black hen. Using the black will increase the size of the black spots I put my paint rooster over my black hen and got solid black or paint offspring, more paint offspring than black and the offspring do have bigger spots than their sire.
You obviously do NOT need a paint to get paints!! Or they would not exist!!! They were created by selective breeding.

Beautiful birds, I still remember when all the craze started and people paid big money for birds without realizing that breeding them right, requires a little bit more effort then just throwing two birds together.
You obviously came up with just the right balance, nice work. :)
