Silkie thread!

[peepblessed]

Ok, I'm really wanting to show silkies down the road. So was wondering if you all could tell me what you thought about my up and coming group. I know I need some better stock, but would like some input on what could be better, what I should be looking for, etc. I did a little photo shoot today, not all were cooperative

but I did my best. And it doesn't help that it was yet another hot day! Oh, and they are all around 5 months old.

#1 Pullet (Black NonBearded)
I really like how she looks, but I know she needs more foot feathering.



#2 Cockeral (Frizzled Partridge)
I think he might have the best type, but he has red in his comb.



#3 Pullet (Frizzled Blue)
I just love this pullet, I think she is my best. But she has a crooked toe, got it caught in the fencing.

#4 Pullet (Splash Partridge?)
Definately lacking in foot feathering



#5 Pullet (Gray)
She did not want to cooperate, kept flying off. She has good foot feathering, but some hard feathers on her feet.



#6 Pullet (Splash)
Probably the scragliest of the group.

I think your blue pullet is your best option even with the broken toe. She looks pretty nice. I would try to show a bird with a bare middle (front) toe.

I have a chance to get a trio of white Silkies. The guy said he has shown them in the past--they have a huge flock, but I wanted to see what you all think of the pics he was able to quickly snap yesterday. He said they have not been groomed in a few months. It was very hot yesterday, so I can't tell anything about their wings...I wish he could have gotten me some better pics, but he's not too far away to go look at them in person.

thanks in advance for any help

Hope you can get these pictures to work...

They remind me of Chewbacca

I love it!!

If we didn't already have an alpaca named Chewbacca, I'd name this chick Chewie. lol

I like this male's tail, looks like the kind that wins in that aspect.

I would agree! The male is the one that stands out to me
