Are these silkies worth the price?

[houndit]

I am looking for some mature silkies because eggs do not hatch around here. I saw this auction and wondered if you thought these silkies were reasonably priced. Do you think thy would do fairly well at a show? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I believe the male would do quite well at a show and I agree, they are reasonably priced.

ETA: Have you read the description? There is at least 1 bird that will be DQed (disqualified) because of her single comb. The other pullet looks nice to me, but the seller claims she needs more feathering (which may or may not become more with age). She doesn't say anything about the male though.

Thanks. And I did not notice the single comb.

If 2 are going to be great show birds, and one is just a pet, it is an excellent deal! I would buy them if I were into Whites. A good show Silkie (adult) is worth $80-$150 IMO. I'd say it's a great deal if the seller is being honest and knows her birds.
