I asked that same question last week and got two different answers.....the consensus was that someone needed to post the question of the ASBC forum. I don't know if that happened, but I doubt it.

It's not a DQ for there to be feathers on the 4th & 5th toe. I believe most Silkie exhibitors leaned towards plucking, if it were only a couple of feathers; and leaving the feathers alone if there were alot.
