Pictures would be nice. I would figure if your silkies do not have any genetic defects, they are good. If they win at shows, they are even better.

I will have pictures tomarrow.

I'll be waiting!

That sounds like how a silkie should look. It's hard to tell without a picture.

They look real nice to me. I have 5, and one or two of them I consider really nice. The other three, 1 has the wrong comb, 1 has cow hocks, and 1 is small and has a poof but it's not big enough. Past that I have no experience.

I'm not an expert (yet

) but I'm learning. There's more to it than that. For example, 5 toes is good, but how is the toe separation?
Vaulted skulls are good, but what about plumage... are the crests big and fluffy? Are there a lot of hard feathers in the wings and tail, or are they solid fluff?
Walnut combs are good; red is not as good as a good mulberry color, and they shouldn't have any spikes (there's a term for it, and it's escaping me at the moment).
There's a whole list of ideal "standards" for good quality silkies.
If you're just selling eggs for hatching pet quality silkies, then they look fine. What are your goals for these birds?
