Sonoran, thank you for reply, I have seen many of your posts,
and respect your knowledge greatly, I did read a post you had

them, (f12) stunning barbed frizzle hen, black...
Hey thank you so much for explanation on the melanization.
Again I am working with something I don't think I can buy(?), at
least at the level I am at, (F11 and F12). So I am trying to work
with the least faults I have in my Project pens.
I do want to show someday, and this year with just...
Thank you also for sharing the link on the standard, my issue is I have

buffet
ect, ect.
I do not eat there eggs, or there babies, But I
remind the entire flock, they have it good, and
if they aren't good, they may end up like there
relatives ...
Ok, so a paint silkies has a solid feather, is there other colours other

markings, ?
thanks
