I agree that the silkies are not show quality, nor is the frizzle Cochin. He's still a cutie, but previous comments are right, the leg/feet feathers are too sparse and *might* indicate he's a crossbreed. At best I'd say he's a poorly bred Cochin. I also *think* the bottom right pic might be an EE roo.

Okay thanks, that’s what I was thinking.

It is always a red flag to me when I see advertises "show quality" since most breeders do not sell their show birds or show potential birds and if they do its usually offered to someone they know or at a show. Unfortunately in the silkie world a lot of people think if its fluffy its show quality but have no clue about the standard and quality has a lot more to it than that and no way to determine quality from pictures you have to see the birds comb, eyes, feet ect..
I do agree these birds are not well balanced from the photo so type could be off.
