I posted a thread yesterday of my black silkie hen, Wooly. She weighs 3.5 pounds and is very large bodied for a silkie hen. Here's my thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=319974 I hope we can find more info on developing a line of standard silkies.

Yes, I am going to the York Show. The only thing I would have to breed out in her offspring is the single comb gene since she has a single comb. Besides needing more foot feathering, Wooly has a nice crest, beard, and wnderful toe spacing.,

how would we go about breeding out the single comb?? now im getting excited...

my feed store said they get their silkies from CA but wouldnt tell me a name
