Is this good body type.

5 month old pullet. Probably one of my best ones so far. Wondering if she has good body structure.

Great posture.

She’s so fluffy!

No, she is far too upright, and her legs seem far back on the body.

Unless you're striving for some judges ribbon or the perfection deemed by "experts", I say if the bird is pleasing to your eye then it is perfection.

I am trying to breed to the SOP. I do really like this bird but I was wondering if she had any flaws.

I see how her legs could be to far back. Im new to silkies so I’m a little confused on what you mean by she’s is to upright.

Well, the legs being on the back of her body, it makes it so her head and breast are high up. The breed I have, d’Anvers are supposed to be asymmetrical with 2/3 of their visual mass in front of their legs and 1/3 in the back.

Silkies should be 50/50.
They are very low slung.

Thank you. I new she looked off with her body shape I just didn’t know what caused it.
