Silkie breeding, genetics & showing

[Sonoran Silkies]

Quote: Best for age/gender (cock, hen, cockerel or pullet) of the variety. Then the 1st places compete for BV, and the remaining 1st and the 2nd of the age/gender that received BV compete for RV. This occurs for each variety of the breed. Then the BV's compete for BB, and the remaining BV's and the RV of the BB compete for RB. After this, all the BB's in the class (Featherleg) compete for Class Champion and reserve, then competition moves on to Champion and Reserve Bantam, Champion and Reserve Landfowl, Champion and Reserve of Show.

I didn't get a chance to clean her up or anything, its been crazy with 2 sick children, but here are pics of the dirty splash pullet I picked up at the show.

Lovely splash, but don;t count absolutely on it being a pullet...

I wouldn't say it's absolutely either yet. I would lean more towards boy by the first photo. The other two photos look girly to me.
