Show potential? Splash silkie hen.

[StrawberryHouseMouse]

Ive never showed any bird at all. Frankly showing makes me nervous. Cause of the fact you have to leave your birds some where over night. But my daughter is wanting to show this fall. I told her she can take one of our silkies. So I was outside today looking at the birds and although they are still feathering out. My oldest silkies should be old enough to show this fall. They were 6-8 weeks old when I got them in the first week of April. So they are getting close to 4 months old now. My lightest colored hen is showing the most prospect imo. Here are some photos of her and a blue hen that I also think is really nice looking. Sorry for the wire. I didnt have time to take them out and take individual photos.

If these photos dont work (cause I moved them all to one folder) then click here.

They are pretty! Can you get some shots of their foot feathering?

They are a little dirty but yeah I can go get some photos. Will take me a few mins. I have to get my youngest daughter dressed and take her out with me XD she is runnin round in just a diapper (dont you love a toddler's refusal to wear clothing?)

Ok here is all the photos I took of the light colored splash hen and the blue hen I think may be good choices. The splash hen could use some more feathers on the legs imo. But she still has some months to grow those. She is still young. Just around 4 months old. They are both that age. So they still have some feathering out to do before fall.

I wouldn't know if they would be considered SQ or not, but I must say they are gorgeous! If I had more room here they would be the first thing I'd get! Congratulations!

They look good, but their foot feathering is lacking on a few. Unless it has just broken off or fallen out, foot feathers won't just grow, regardless of the amount of time given. They're still young, but in 4 months, they will be much more filled out. They do look pretty good though.

Silkies will be my next choice......The silkies at the shows are just stunning......
I love the splash and blue ones you have.

I think she is gorgeous (the all are). Showing poultry is a wonderful experience, I am telling you, you have to try it!

your Silkies are verrrry pretty. Show them and see, constructive critisicm from a learned judge is how we learn. Best of luck to your daughter.
