Opinions On This Silkie?

[BrierRabbit]

Hello! I'm new to showing chickens and am about to start showing with my local 4H. I've contacted a breeder and this is what he has available. She's a 3.5-4 m/o pullet. What do you think? Is she worth the $55 he's asking?

She looks like an nice quality Silkie from what I can see. I'd like to see her from the side so I could see how long her back is. I'm not an expert on Silkies, but $50 a bird is not an uncommon price from top breeders. I've paid anywhere from $50 for a trio to $100 a bird. It depends on how badly you need/want one.

Try posting this on the Silkie breed thread if you haven't already.
