Will get some update pictures today, & hopefully they cooperate with me.

I was at a fun show yesterday and I saw a Silkie that would be perfect for your project. He was waayyy too big.

What was all his features?

What was all his features?

He was a show Silkie, just too big.
The hen the judge picked was also too big but not as big, and her crest was also too big. He needs to learn his Standard, it calls for a medium-sized crest. Too many breeders have selected for larger crests, now that's what people think they're supposed to have...

 

[Amer]

The oversized male had a smaller than medium crest though

Assuming he was bearded, & short legged though.

Oh, yep

 

[Amer]

Medium legged, maybe

 

[MysteryChicken]

Oh, yep

Beardless, & long to medium legs are what I want, & no vaulted skulls.
