Silkie breeding, genetics & showing

I don't have any Silkie chicks but I do have a white Silkie roo, a white hen and a gold hen. I plan to breed them next year. When you get them post some pics of them on Silkie Shenanigans a thread by me dedicated to purebred silkies.

Good luck with them!

Anyone know if a tailless silkie could be shown AOV? i figure the breed standard probably calls for a tail-but ?????

I myself have a white Silkie cock and a gold hen and after seeing your pics I want to cross them.

Question! How do you get your white silkies leges and belly back to being white?! I don't want to use something that's going to hurt her but I have no idea what to use?

A lot of people use blueing shampoo, you can usually find it in stores that sell dog and horse products. Just be sure to dilute it, or you and your Silkie will end up purple!

Make sure they are clean, healthy and free of parasites. Compare what they look to photos of silkies that have placed well at large shows. Read the standard and se how they compare.
