Silkie breeding, genetics & showing

[aoxa]

Most judges will judge each AOV variety against others of the same variety, and then (if asked) judge a best and reserve AOV.  The last is usually left out.  You really do not want porcelains judges against blue partridge; at least not until they have been judged against others of the same colour pattern.

The frizzled silkie should not have been considered AOV if the colour variety was recognized.  Frizzle is recognized for ALL breeds and varieties.  So, a frizzled partridge is recognized; a frizzled creamsicle is not. 

Blue with dark blue splashes IS splash.  Splash is not supposed to have a white background.  From the 2011 Bantam Standard.

[COLOR=0000CD]SPLASH PLUMAGE[/COLOR]​

[COLOR=0000CD]Color of Male and Female[/COLOR]​

[COLOR=0000CD]PLUMAGE: Slaty blue and white that has a faint bluish gray tinge.  Blue in feathers in the form of large irregular shaped blobs as distinct from V-shaped ticking.  Main tail feathers and primary wing feathers wth a lesser amount of blue than the rest of the plumage. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=0000CD]UNDERCOLOR:  Slaty blue and sooty white, evenly distributed.[/COLOR]

That's how they did it anyway, except for my frizzled boy. I just said he was frizzled. I didn't give details other than that, so he had a circled 1 on his tag. He didn't have any competition

I posted the standard a few posts back. I was wrong about the splash in the first place. Salty blue is light blue right?

Sonoran already told me that.

I'm saying he didn't compete against the partridge girls. Otherwise he tied with my other girl for BV.

Quote: The standard does not list differences for splash by breed; it is listed only once, unlike some varieties such as barring where there are multiple entries based upon breed.
