Silkie breeding, genetics & showing

[Brookiesbrooder]

I wanted to get your thoughts on these two boy. Comments and critiques welcome.
Another one of my black cockerels, this one is from a pure black pen. 6 months old. I am worried about a slight slipped wing on one side.

I am still thinking about selling this cockerel. He has very nice wings tight wings. I feel like he looks a little off balance, like his tai should be a little more full?

Both pretty boys and young....give them a little more time.....If the black is a true black from an all Black pen.....I would keep him,it is getting harder and harder to find true black with all the BBS pens and paint /black breeding going on.

Yup I agree with what she says!!!

I think they are both good looking boys!

How can you tell typiness in a chick? How old are they? Mine are about a month, and I am dying to tell if they are as amazing as I hope they'll be!

I already have some guesses as to the sex of a few. My buff is the smallest and I haven't seen it fighting at all, as some of the others have been. I am going to name her Miss Bessie

I have a couple of chicks that have that S shape right out of the eggs, my others are a little more upright.

I often see typiness in a chick but others develop it later.

It's always fun to see which chicks really surprise you, right?

Does anyone have pictures of typie chicks. As my chicks hatch I would love to be able to look for good or bad traits to train my eyes!

Yes, The girl in my avatar was unimpressive until she was close to 3 mos.

All of the above Catdance chicks turned out with great type.

Here is the unimpressive black one in the middle.


This is the very upright blue one.
