Show quality?

[Funnyfarmsilkies]

Is my silkie rooster show quality?

I'm not an expert but not with the pink comb and face, hard tail feathers and crest in his eyes, he's good looking, just not show.

His face is too light, not black, or mulberry.

Tail needs to be more rounded, & less solid.

Wings are too loosely held, & he's more red then Buff(Unless he's a red Silkie)

Topknot needs a bit more poof at the top, it's abit flat.

Just noticed his feet are pink/white, so he has no fibromelanosis, so he's a big disqualification if he were brought for showing.

Agreed, cute pet but not show quality.

Thanks for sharing his pic!

Do you think he's mix? or just pet quality?

Silkies can be white skinned, it's not completely unusual to see them pop up. Silkies are white skinned, but have Fibromelanosis that makes their skin black.

So, he'd be pet quality, unless the APA starts accepting the white skinned type.

Here's some Siamese Silkies, these are petite size, & have white skin rather then black.

Is petite the same as bantam? I'm sorry, I'm not too familiar with silkies.

Petite is bantam, but smaller almost micro. Think of Seramas, or OEGBs.

I think some may come in the none petite size, & just the regular bantam size that is commonly seen too.
