Silkie breeding, genetics & showing

[chisNchickens]

That is always the trick. I'd probably suggest a wide (mdical) paper tape. Place in proper position and then tape all the way around the wing so that it cannot be spread. You might have to retape every day or two. You could try using vet wrap, but in my experience it just slides off with this type of use.

Amen!

Thank you! And thank you for the wing taping info....I have a young cockerel I need to try that on.

I'll have to get a picture when I get home when she/he is all dry. Some of the stuff is that albumen, from where it dried on it.

Excited to say I will be getting a very handsome man from Donna of Bluegrass Bantams. She is getting out of silkies after breeding/exhibiting for 25 years so she can travel. She mainly bred partridge and grays as they are her favorite but held onto one special white boy and girl. And I get them!! Yay!!

Here they are!

Cute pink chicks! So did you get them by mixing a red and a white?

New babies! Showgirl I believe is a pullet, silkie i'm not sure about. I'm hoping pullet but right now it's anyone's guess. Anyone care to guess?

You didn't say how old the Showgirl is, but I'd say roo. It doesn't exhibit noticeable waddles but the comb looks to be a roo to me.
