Show Silkie Pics

[sue25]

I believe I have several Silkies that would do really well at a show. Would anyone share some pics of what a show Silkie looks like.
Here are some of mine. What do you think?

Not my bird. She's pretty close to the SOP, but I'd like to see a fuller tail and hackle and more of a basketball shape.

@FishMtFarm also had some wonderful show quality Silkies for a while.

Here is a picture that magnolia silkies shared to show type.

I don’t show so I don’t know how a judge would score next to other silkies. Here are a few of mine that match sop pretty good.

Age plays a big role too, lots can change between 4-12 months. Here is an example 5 months then about 15 months here crest is crazy because she’s starting a molt.

FishMtFarm also had some wonderful show quality Silkies for a while.

First white Hen was from fishmtfarm and the first blue and the last black hens were hatched from hens and rooster I got from her. I’m sad she isn’t breeding anymore. I was always confident when I got birds from her that they were going to be beautiful and healthy. The foundation of my flock started with her silkies.

Perhaps you could give some feedback on what the OP can improve in their stock.

So if you don’t know what makes a silkie show potential then why comment.

Then share your knowledge, oh wise one.

Or I can just consult the handy dandy APA book sitting a mere 2 feet away from me.
