They do appear to be a reputable seller, but I stand by what I said earlier. Just because her line produces birds that have won at shows does not mean the chicks you hatched are. That's just the way it is. They are certainly more "type-y" than a hatchery quality Silkie, but I'd be curious to see out of how many birds they take to show, how many more are culled as pet quality. They certainly don't take every bird they hatch to show...
