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 cuckoo (males only), paint and blue paint.
So I could easily add paint into blacks and blues without creating a big mess?
Also question about this pullet. Her mother is a blue cuckoo and father is a heterozygous dominant white with red leakage in the shoulders.
Could this pullet have pure blue colored chicks or close to a solid blue if I bred her to a pure black rooster? I would consider her color a blue with silver leakage, but I'm not sure if that is the proper term for it.
