silkie-show quality?

[seminolewind]

I have 5 silkies, and this one is drop dead gorgeous. I was just looking for a critique so I can understand breed standard better. I wonder how close she comes.

Oh the Precious!

Check with Bama Chickens, DipseyDoodleDoo or Tom with KentuckySilkies. There are a couple of others on here as well that raise good quality silkies. but I can't recall their screen names offhand. But she does look gorgeous to me. I got my first silkie today, a really good quality blue splash pullet, I'm calling her LizaJane.

I think her crest should be a fuller and her cushion should be a little bigger

but im new to the show silkies as lilpeeps she has awsome birds !

She has nice coloring. Good type...would like to see a bigger crest and for her to hold her wings tighter. She has a nice cushion and foot feathering. Nice full beard. I wouldn't call her show quality, but definately breeder quality. You could get some very nice babies from her if bred to the right male.

Do you have pics of the other birds?

This pic was taken when she was 15 weeks. She's now 19 weeks, so I'm going to update her pics, and take pics of the others.
I'm glad you all are critiquing her, it's a good learning experience. My other 4, I can see faults. This one is hard, it goes beyond what little I know, LOL
