So her cushion needs to be placed higher on the back? I'm hoping that her cushion will get like that as she fills out more.

I like the cushion placed higher for two reasons a) it gives the appearance of a shorter back b) it adds to the round shape of the bird ... also because of this part of the standard:

"§ Head: Moderately small, short, carried so that a line drawn parallel with tip of the tail will bisect the comb."

Here is one of my black hens, Premier stock based

And my sire bird, directly from Premier. I dunno, I think he is about 3 years old. He was ugly as a cockerel though.

my black silkies have a little brownish color on their necks. What is that about? They are just pet birds and I want to make a BBS pen, and sell the babies around here for pets, the hatchery around here only has white!
