Rate my white silkies

[Katieskerlong]

Hi everyone. I have a few white silkies one of which is my breeding from the rooster and one of the hens. I think they’re beautiful but a few things to work on. What do yall think? The smallest of the bunch if my breeding. It has dark skin but a light face so I’ve gotta work on fixing that. I did get a hen with the desired dark comb tho to help.

I know for certain things to watch for, but one person who I turn to with my show silkies that knows so much more about the SOP is @2ndTink. To me, that roo is pretty spot on! What's the white stuff on his comb? Maybe just food?

It’s calcium deposits I guess. He eats the hens oyster shells

I have one old roo that does that but he's ancient so I figured he needed it for his old bones. Otherwise, that's weird yours would eat it.
