Hello, I have a white silkie, and she is probably one of my best looking, and most well behaved hens.

I have been wanting to breed show quality silkies, and possibly showing them. She is pure white, likes being handled, 5 toes, bright blue earlobes, black skin, just everything you could ask for in a silkie.

I don't know if her tail being lower down will really make an impact, but she has a HUGE crest, and she carries her self very well. Do any of you guys say otherwise?

The best thing to do would be to enter her into a show and speak with the judge specifically. After work I can tell you what the 2008 or 2010 SOP looked like for white silkies, but I wouldn't breed/hatch until she's been shown or seen by a judge. She is very beautiful but I am not heavily studied in the SOP or someone who judges birds, but they have the keen eye to figure out among 30 white call ducks who is good, who is disqualified, who is meh and who is a champion 🤣 looks like white ducks to me!
