Hi Everyone,
I am new to this site and wanted to know some info about showing silkies. Are there any shows in California? What do you do when you show silkies? Do you hold them or does the judge judje them in their cage? Do you have to bring a show cage or does the show supply them? Do the exhibitors have to get all dressed up and if so what do you wear? I have a silkie hen who is about 3 years old. I hatached her out under a broody hen. She was out of show birds but she has never been shown herself. She has all five toes and has good toe spacing except for the two toes on the inside. Would this affect her in the show pen? She really is a beautiful bird she has a large vaulted skull and a ton of feathering. her crest is so big that you cannot see her eyes. She seems to be overall perfect in everyway except for her toes. Can I get some people's opinion on showing silkies?
Thank You,
Brittany
