    Silkie Standard of Perfection

    I've never done shows before but I wanted to enter one of my boys, because I thought it'd be a neat experience...but I'm not sure he'd meet some of the standards or even compare to any of the birds I've been seeing in these pictures, they're all gorgeous birds, my Sir Munchkin is handsome but he...

    Can you enter a bird in show that's a mix?

    Where would I be able to find information on what the specific standards are? And do you have any personal recommendations on how to prep the birds?

    Can you enter a bird in show that's a mix?

    I've never done shows before, and this year I wanted to enter one of my roosters at the Del Mar Fair, but they won't post their rules and regulations until later in the spring.

    Why is my rooster chewing his tail feathers?

    They're all separated in their own coops, I know I can't have two roosters in one coop together and the hen is quite a few years older than both roosters, and I've been told it's better not to have a big age difference between coop-mates. In the morning I'll take a closer look for bugs. If...

    Why is my rooster chewing his tail feathers?

    One of my 18 month old Silkie roosters is chewing his tail feathers, not plucking them. The shaft (Rachis) of the feathers are still there, and cut short, but the vane of the feather is gone. I haven't actually seen him in the act, I just assume that's what he's doing, because my other rooster...
