One of the questions for Showmanship is "What is Silkie? (Hint: this is not referring to the breed.) " does this mean like the texture silkie? Help! Confused 😕 😕 :idunno
 
According to the 2010 Standard of Perfection-

"SILKIE: Refers to the semiplume character of the feathers of the Silkie fowl in which the shafts are very thin and the barbs are very long, very soft and fluffy, which have no holding power and no locking arrangement; structurally similar to the fluff of a normal feather."

I was in 4H for quite a few years, this one tended to stump people cause the feather type is called the same as the breed :D
