Are these Silkies pet, breeding, or show quality?

Their crests look to be a little larger than the splash rooster. Would one of the white roosters with one of the black hens make a good breeding pair or would it be bad to breed a white to a black? I know most breeders have different pens for each color.

If you're going to get good Silkies you certainly don't want to mix black with white.

There's a saying by a wise old chicken breeder [no, not me]: if you breed a $3 chichen with a $3 chicken you'll get $3 chickens, sometimes $2 chickens.
The notion that birds with obvious flaws make "good breeder birds" who are likely to produce improved offspring is nonsence.
There's another old saying: "you can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear".
To the OP: if you really want to breed Silkies stay away from EBAY & Craigs List. Go to a show or 2. Look the birds over. Talk to the people showing Silkies & look at what they have to sell. Before you do any of that buy yourself a Standard of Perfection & study Silkies. Then you won't have to ask people here, many of whom don't know any more than you do, if a bird is a good Silkie. One thing that's abundant on this site is opinions from people who don't have much experience.
