Silkie breeding, genetics & showing

Now, question! Could I use this on them before a bath? http://www.petedge.com/product/Groo...newal-Treatment/pc/190/c/213/sc/270/56805.uts

I use it on my cat and it makes him feel so soft, it is also great for the skin.

and about the shampoo I bought a couple weeks ago, the true white shampoo. It works awesome! I sort of underestimated it's whitening power and left it on my creamy for like 5 minutes (says to only leave on for 3, 2 for colored spots), and when I rinsed her, she was a bit lighter than when we started

So I won't be leaving it on that long again!

I would be very cautious when using anything new. Honestly, I throught that some fancier shampoos would work better than Dawn Dish soap, they surprisingly didn't. I am a shampoo junkie as it is so....I have bathed them in everything. The only think that I would use different productwise is whitening shampoo for my whites. Dragonlady swears by Dawn and a little Downy Fabric Softener rinse, I tried it and I AM A BELIEVER.

They're all crossbreed roosters.....I don't really know what kind

Yeah I have used just dawn with fabric softener, and I do put dawn in the first wash, but I like shampoo

and I found one that will get yellowing out of white feathers! Heck it even gets all colors out of white feathers haha! It's all natural, with coconut enzymes, so I didn't think it would be as powerful as it really is.

I just wanted to clear up that a splash isn't always white back ground. Light blue back ground with dark spots is splash. I couldn't find where you mentioned it.

Were you reading my mind? LOL Than in that case, I have both. I find myself liking the blue splash a little more these days. Picked up a lovely splash pullet yesterday, her mother and sister were being shown. She was for sale because her crest was not as substantial as those other two. Still a nice crest compared to most, so she will make a nice little breeder. I was filthy from the mud and rain yesterday at the show, giving her a bath today to see what we are working with colorwise.

i always use new produces on my non show silkies

Makes sense, I use the new stuff on my young ones 3 or 4 months old. They seem to always be the dirtiest. Sweet little brats.
