Okay, I'm going to bring up the elephant in the room. Exactly WHY do you want to breed chickens, specifically Silkies? Because they're cute? So are daddy long legged spiders to some people, so that's not a good reason. Because you know a lot about chickens? I know a lot about submarines, but that doesn't make me qualified to run one. To make money? Any good, reputable breeder of anything from dogs to ducks can tell you that if you are doing it right - absolutely, totally right - you'll be lucky to break even.
I love it when young people become enthusiastic about things, especially when it's something that is a bit out of the usual for someone their ages. So the last thing I'd want to do is throw cold water on your joy in planning this. But that's the problem. You haven't really planned this. You decided, then you made all of your answers fit your idea of how things are done. Good people with a lot more experience than I have in the world of chickens have given you extremely good advice, pointed you in good directions, and asked you questions aimed at making you think. But every time they do, you have a fast, short, "I know what I'm doing" answer. But you don't. It's been suggested that you join a Silkie club or at the very least buy some breed specific literature. You don't want to do that either. You aren't even familiar with the most basic terms used...you want Npip certification but don't know what that is. You want to breed show quality but don't know what the SOP is. You want to buy show quality but you don't know a 4-H show from a Grange show.
So here's a compromise for you. Get your coop and run built. Either find a breeder close to you (one you can describe with more answers than "I don't know" and one who is proud to share photos of his/her setup and birds) or order some Silkies from a hatchery. Raise them successfully. If you'd like to hatch a few backyard Silkie chicks, go for it and love every minute of it. But don't set yourself up for disappointment before you even start. Every kid needs a dream and a chance. Having two disabled granddaughters, I know that all too well. But slooowww down. Learn first! You don't graduate from high school, walk into a multi million dollar company and demand to start your working career as the CEO - you have to work your way up to it! These are living, breathing creatures who deserve the best we can provide for them, not instant projects we can discard when things don't go our way.
So many super people on here will bend over backwards to mentor you - to guide you - to give you every bit of encouragement and help they can. Let them. Learn from them. And in less time than you even realize, you'll be the one folks will go to for answers. You could even become the go-to expert on all things Silkie! That will happen if you keep this enthusiasm and determination you've shown going. But if you dive in too quickly and it doesn't all work the way you think it will, I'm afraid you'll give up, and I'd sure hate to see that happen!
