I was just wondering about special care and what the standard is for them.
 
What kind of info are you looking for on breeding silkies? I am not sure of the standard on them as I do not show silkies.
 
You can find the silkie breed club online, the standard is on there, or in the standard of perfection of course. As for special care, they need good footing otherwise their feathered legs will go to hell, and keep them clean so their plumage stays nice. They sometimes need their own place because they can't see well and will often get picked on by the other breeds. But, that and more should also be on the breed club page if you google it.
 
Ok thanks.

Dose anyone know how to develop new plumage colors?
 
You should ask Purple Chicken that question. I hear he is working on a plaid version.
