EDIT: I mean the small chicken, not the larger ones.

The small bird shes holding looks like a golden or silver duckwing pullet

Ive read that u cant get "show quality" birds from hatcheries but cackle hatchery says that they strive for show,meat,pet,etc poultry so should my silkies be showable? (At 4-H. Atleast)

They will be good for The table stuff but they are unlikely to look like the silkies you have seen pictures of. I have never seen a hatchery silkie that has fully feathered feet. No feathers at all on the middle toe is a dc. Also look out for wrong combs. Those are the things I remember . But 4h is very forgiving and the table thing Just needs chickens that can see and cackle guys should be able to see

It would be unlikely that you would get a show chicken from a hatchery, especially a show bantam. It could get a first with an obscure breed in a youth show but that is about it. I see hatchery birds all the time while judging and they just don't look like the show version of the breed. You don't have to be a judge to see the difference.

Cackle says they strive for show quality though.
I guess i wont know till i get them. do the chicks start with feathered feet or no?

 

[KristyAnn]
