Black Bearded Silkie Cockerel

He does have a fair amount of shredding, but I wouldn't say they were overshredded. Shredding should be the lower 1/3 of the wing.

I also wouldn't say he has weak wings. I find that cockerel have a more difficult time holding their wings at this age and once they become accustomed to the weight, they hold them higher and tighter. I discussed this with George Mahalik at the show in Indy last month and he explained that the males wings are larger and heavier because they need them for breeding.

I have included a couple more pics of this cockerel's comb that I took in early October.
