Silkie breeding, genetics & showing

Why does she have an LGD who kills chickens!

Doesn't that defeat the purpose?!

It's a puppy. An LGD in training. It does well with goats but hasn't been tested on chickens yet. She doesn't wanna risk that silkie on it. She has other chickens she is ok if she lost should that happen but her silkie isn't one

Does the "tape job" look right?

A little low on the girl, but practice makes perfect.

Quote: His type looks off, but he may be young? Neck is too skinny. Too many hard feathers in tail and too much black. I would say breeder quality, but if he is not mature, I might well change my assessment as he fills in. He is a buff, not a red.

I actualy think it's too high, part of her crest is sticking out on the bottom so it looks like she can't see, but she can it's just the fuzz above her eyes

I also clipped her crest over the winter so that spot s shorter than the rest.

Thank you I'm not sure his age but I will find out. I'm ok with breed quality too though.

Okay I am back with cat litter and paper tape...Dragonlady since you have such a long "name" I think I shall dub you DDL for Dear DragonLady.

All that DH and DIL and on and on drives me a bit crazy but a dear you are, so DDL.
