@jmns thanks so much for the tag!

This looks like a lot of fun! I'm loving the entries so far! I should have some new chicks coming in the next couple weeks (some due on the 10th and the others on the 17th). I'll have to wait to see what hatches before deciding on what 3 entries I'd like to do.

These Silkies are beautiful!

Thanks, they are filling in and feathering out nicely. Jane just found his crow the other day, though we are not changing his name. We have a hen named Elvis, too!

Hi, and welcome! I want to see those Silkie chickens! This is just for fun, and there is no prize, but don't worry, there will be a winner for each category. (If anyone would like to help by volunteering for judging, please let me know! ) I love Silkie chickens and would love to see yours as well. Alright, here are the rules for this competition:

Rules:
Please fill out the form below when you enter the pictures of your chicken. While I love all chickens, this competition is for Silkie chickens only, so please refrain from posting chickens that aren't Silkies. (But feel free to comment, etc.) Please no more than three entries. The competition ends on 9/20/2020, and I will do my best to announce the winner on that day. The most important rule is to have fun! (Cheesy, I know.)
______________________________
Form:
Name (Optional):
Gender (Optional):

Tell us a bit about this Silkie! (Optional):

______________________________________
Age:
What I mean by age on the form: This can be as simple as, 'In the brooder,' '6+ weeks,' and 'After first egg or crow.' You could also say, '3-day old chick,' if you want. I just want to know what stage of life they're at.
_______________________________________
Categories:
A) Silkie chicks. (Alright, yes, the chicks get their own category because they're super cute.)
B) Cutest Silkie. (As an adult)
C) Most prominent fluff. (What? I like fluffy Silkies! )
D) Most Handsome Silke. (For those roosters in all their fluffy glory)
E) Funniest Silkie. (Silkies have a talent in making me grin from ear to ear)
F) Other. (Before I get carried away and there's a category from A to Z)
_________________________________
Example:
Here is an example of Mochi when she was a chick:
Name (Optional): Mochi
Gender (Optional): Female (Hopefully)
Age: 4 Days
Category: Silkie Chicks
Tell us a bit about this Silkie! (Optional): Mochi is a very friendly White Silkie Bantam chick and loves to run up to me when I come to check on her and the other chicks. Her favorite thing to do is snuggle up in my palm and if it's sunny, she likes to sunbathe on her daily excursions outside. (As I said above, this is of Mochi when she was a chick. Now, she's 20ish weeks and much more different.)
