Showing ... Please Help

Hello ,
Well some of you know that i have entered 2 of my chickens into a show , A orpington bantam and a frizzle pekin , but my frizzle pekin had some feathers missing around her neck due to mating so i had to choose one of my other hens to take her place : My cuckoo silkie bantam ... (this is her penned up just after her bath)

What you think of her ?

And here is another picture of my orpington banatam after her bath :

Thanks for looking - Tell me what you think of them please

they look good to me i've never shown one before but i am breeding my sebrights to be show quality. i've read alot on showing and even have a APA Standard of Perfection book and they look great to me

They look pretty good Can I have side shots of both? and a feet shot of the silkie?

i would but im at my mums at the moment so cant sorry ... the feet on the silkie has a few feathers on the legs then clear feet ... Hope this gives you a idea ...

What i'm looking for is good feet feathering/toe spacing etc, like this... http://media-files.gather.com/images/d25/d435/d744/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg You can see how the 4th and 5th toes are well seperated and the feathering is down to the middle toe
