    26 new hatchlings :)

    I just brought home 26 hatchlings! I am over the moon happy. I paid a lady to incubate them and she rocked it out of the park. My rooster is a paint ameraucana EE with autosomal red + lavender split. Hens are BYC unless listed below. 11 of the chicks are paints - 6 are black spotted, the other...

    Lavender/Paint Silkie Genetics

    Hello! I’m new to this and am planning on breeding silkies next year. I’m trying to plan all my separate pens. I wanted to have white silkies and lavenders. So I was going to get a white split lavender rooster with white only girls. Then I saw paints and realize I really want those too! Some...

    My flock is finally home

    We are finally moved up to the homestead and about 90% of my flock is now up here, too. I AM SO HAPPY. For the last year, my flock has been at another farm while we were transitioning out of town and up into the homestead. They were not cared for well. Over winter, I lost 2/3 of the flock and...

    2025 and Beyond Breeding Plan

    We are almost moved up to the homestead where I'll have full control over my flock and my breeding pens. I'm really excited for my breeding plans this year. One of my long-term projects is an auto-sex zombie. I'm building from scratch using my current flock: Paint Ameraucana, Cream Legbar...

    How to Price My Paintings?

    I have never sold art before, minus the one keychain I made for a fellow chicken keeper on here. I definitely have not sold actual paintings. Can I have your help with pricing? I will attach paintings I am trying to price and provide all the information I can. My first one, a Japanese...

    Blue Paint Silkie?

    Hello all, I have a silkie pullet that I bred that does not look like a normal paint. Her spots are very dilute, she looks like a blue paint. I'm wondering if anyone knows the genetics behind blue paint? My understanding with typical paints is that a bird with a dominant white gene breeds with...

    Silkie color question

    Does anyone know what the possible colors are if you were to pair a paint silkie rooster to blue partridge or grey silkie hens? There’s very few resources I’ve been able to find on grey and partridge color genes, I have eggs hatching tomorrow and I’m really curious on what colors to expect.

    Would a BBS + paint pen be possible?

    I want to work towards BBS + paint in my silkies. I don't actually have a desire to breed splash right now, so it would be black, blue and paint. From my understanding if I bred a black rooster with my black, blue, blue cuckoo and paint hens I would get: Black, blue, cuckoo (males only), blue...

    Does white over black always cause paint?

    I have a heterozygous dominant white rooster with multiple black hens and one blue cuckoo hen. I thought that when bred to a black hen (when he actually gives his copy of white to a chick) it would always result in paints. So far I've only managed to hatch one paint and many, many plain whites...

    Whats the difference between back from paint breeding and black from black+black breeding?

    Okay, so I've seen a lot of people saying that they are using for example: a black rooster from paint breeding. Does it make a difference though? Because as far as I know the dominant white from paint can't be recessive, so why does it matter if the black chicken's parents were black or paint...

    Is he dominant white?

    I have this silkie boy. I'm 90% sure his mom was paint and dad was buff (came from a mixed color pen. My guess is based off the photos I was sent). I really want to breed either paints or bbs. I was thinking I'd keep black hens and 2 roos - one blue or blue partridge and this boy. I've been...

    Ella the Painted Lady

    We're having our house's exterior painted. I get a knock at the door a little bit ago, and it's the painter. He says, "I'm so sorry but one of your chickens got paint on her!" I walk out and sure enough, Miss Ella was there, covered in paint, with the other hens trying to peck the paint off her...

    Champagne leakage in paint silkies

    Hi, I have paint silkies but they have champagne leakage in the hackles, especially the rooster. Is there a way to breed it out and what causes it?

    Silkie Colors

    I just hatched 7 Silkie chicks that were listed as assorted colors. All of them are black or white except two. One is either a splash or a paint (not sure how to tell) and the other I have no idea. Does anyone know what color they'll be I'm? I'm pretty new to silkies so any additional...
