Silkie breeding, genetics & showing

[khawks]

What do u think about this comb? I'm concerned about it because it doesnt look like a normal walnut comb. Is it a disqualification?

Ok folks. need some assistance in identifying the color of this bird. I don't know what she is out of because the breeder gave me a random selection of hatching eggs. I was first thinking that she was a self-blue cream and am now thinking that she is going to turn partridge. I'm confused because if you zoom in on the second picture on her flight feathers, you can see a SLIGHT barring. BUT she has such a massive amount of white/lavender in her. Third, my breeder has been getting her SB creams from her splash. so I REALLY don't know what she is!.

She looks like a porcelain

Yes, as mentioned above, that's what I'm thinking, but the barring in throwing me off. Thanks for your input!

What is a split wing

What is a split wing

On the wing between the primary feathers and secondary feathers there is an axial feather. Split wing is genetic and causes the bird to not grow the axial feather. This make it look like there's a gap in the wing, like the wing on the right in this picture...

What is recommended to use to add vitamin e and selenium to a Silkie's diet?

I bought a vitamin and mineral supplement at the grain store, it is just a powder I add to their water.

Could you tell me the brand and name please?

Hey if I have a black male silkie and a female cuckoo silkie would the female offspring be black and male offspring be cuckoo?

Shape-wise, it is fine, but it is far too large, and some judges might DQ
