I would have to see a couple more pictures of the feet, head and top view for a better judging. From the picture you have, it seems the legs are too close together and the wattle is a bit too big. The crest is not as full as it should be. The ears appear to be white? [COLOR=FF0000]This is all just my opinion as the picture shows to me, other may have their own opinion in which i will not argue with.[/COLOR]
There are quite a few DQ's and point infractions on silkies that cannot be clearly seen with this picture.
write the seller and ask. !. does he have 5 toes on each foot and the middle toes are feathered. 2 What color are the ears, wattles and comb..3. Ask for more pictures.
Quote: For a non-bearded he might be fair breeder, but is certainly not a showbird. Tail is wrong (sickles are not soft--too hard and pointed), crest and foot feathers are lacking. Body is nice and wide and rounded, though, and paired with a nice non-bearded girl you might get some pretty decent babies. $40 is too much for him; $20-30 is probably okay, especially if you have an appropriate non-bearded girl to work with, or they have one they will sell with him as a pair. If the later, look to the total price, not individual pricing to determine whether the the pair is worth the cost.

has anyone tried using a mud mask on their chicken's feet? i just put an avocado and oatmeal mud mask on ice's toes, i wanna see if there's a difference. I use a mud bath for dogs on their feathers, it works great!
To make the skin softI don't get it. A mud mask? What's the purpose?

Alrighty, then! Soft feet. Hadn't really worried about that much before ....
