large fowl silkies???

[MysteryChicken]

My big silkie roo when I measured him, he stood 16, and a half inches tall.

Mostly the faults are related to the size and color of his comb and wattles. Also his stance is incorrect.

This is of one of my big roos offspring. He mated with a porcelain D'Uccle hen.

His comb and wattles are a dark mulberry red, which isn't a flaw. How is his stance incorrect? Aren't silkie roosters supposed to stand tall? The other roo we had to slaughter his comb was to bright of a red color.

Here is the American Bantam Association's SOP for Silkies:

https://americansilkiebantamclub.org/pages/silkie-standard

"COMB, FACE, WATTLES: deep mulberry, approaching black."

"Body of moderate length, broad, deep and well rounded from breast bone to stern and let down well between the legs."

"Short, gracefully arched, with a very full hackle flowing well over the shoulders."

"Male - short, broad from shoulders to saddle, quite rounded its entire length rising gradually from middle of the back towards tail."

"The disqualifications specifically for silkies include : Bright red comb, face and wattles."

"Comb should be deep mulberry colored. Beak should be slate-y blue and eyes should be black. Earlobes should be turquoise blue. Skin should be dark blue and toes slate-y blue."

An example of a show quality Silkie can be seen on the first page of this thread on BYC here:

His comb and wattles are no where near a dark mulberry red.
He is a poor quality hatchery silkie.

How about his daughter?

My show quality Silkies.

Where did the show silkie thing come in? I was showing his giant size mainly.

I think the show thing came in to compare your rooster to a SOP bred silkie.
It was to show yours is a hatchery quality bird which would explain his size.
Your Orpington hen is also hatchery quality which explains why she is small.
