1- black
2- partridge
3- partridge
4- red

All of them have vulture hocks. I still can't believe it's a disqualification...

Thank you so much!
I dont understand why it is if they naturally grow it.

They don't naturally grow it. It's a trait that has been bred into them. What confuses me is how common it is, despite not being desirable in this breed.

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...

You're opinions on my Poof?

I used my large Silkie roo over my sister's Broiler Silkie hen.

Oh I see. Well I dont show any of mine anyways.
Before all these others ive only had red rangers. But I'm not looking for a meat bird for a while again.

I'm planning on showing my silkies sometime.
