wow, how adorably fluffy! I only have 1 silkie and he is most definitly NOT the SOP if yours are SOP. He's cute though!My best silkies this year are both males..
I breed to the SOP. My best male is a white just purchased from Karen Larson of CatDance Farm who came from champion parents. He is not just a pretty boy, he is a living sweet heart.
His name is Prince charming.
A Blue Cream cockerel I bred from my project pens. He is one of my best silkies I bred myself.
His name is Poi. Just six months old.
Both are show quality which means fpr me, they could be shown right now because of quality and condition. I'm not prepared to show this year but will in the Spring. I currently have fifty silkies over the age of sixteen weeks.
I don't mind the beards, but I like seeing their little faces & that's hard to do with the fluff on top & bottomI understand not liking naked neck, but how can you not like those ADORABLE beards??That's a lot of Silkies peanut, I currently have 11 of them, but 5 will be leaving soon to their new home. What colors do you have, any show girls? Personally I'm not into the naked neck birds. My favorites are non-bearded, but I have both.

I purchased 2 from a local breeder & the other 4 came from eggs of my BIL flock. They are just pet quality. I know nothing about breeding SQ silkies. I'm just a beginner here lol, sorry can't help you with that one.Beautiful birds, love the blue cream cockerel
Chicken Lady.. What is your advise for starting to breed SQ Silkies? Where do you start... Where do you purchase your birds?
