Showable Silkie hen?

I have a splash silkie from show quality lines. She is about 10 mos old. Would she be a good hen to show? I know nothing about showing them at all. I think she is pretty but I am not sure what exactly I should look for. She has the correct 5 toes. She survived a very bad fowl pox outbreak last fall and my Marek's outbreak (she was vaccinated).

I am not a silkie breeder or fancier but the american standard of perfection 2010 edition for poultry standards (there is a newer book, either 2016 or 2017 but it didnt update anything for silkies I believe only for the new breeds)

It says for silkies:
Hen should weight 32 oz (12+ months)
Pullet should weigh 28 oz (under 12 months)

For splash silkies:
Eyes be black- comb, face, wattles be mulberry- Skin a dark blue- beak to be leaden blue to black
in the plumeage the amount of blue should be lesser on the wings.



I think shes a beautiful bird <3
