Here are a couple of girls with really good wings. They should be held close to their body. I like them to look like a smile. The first picture is a 5 month old pullet. She will fill in quite a bit more over the next few months with more fluff underneath her wings.

I'm not sure I completely agree that they need to be held tight to the body. What I would say is that they need to be held high (horizontal), and well closed--no droopy primaries or secondaries.

There is a buy, sell, trade forum on BYC. Technically all sale or trade birds should only be listed there. That said, I see thing listed occasionally on breed specific pages and in Where Am I? threads. To what extent that is overlooked, I don't know. You can easily contact a BYC staff member by clicking report on the post--then ask your question.

What a precious girl! Love her name. I'll have to rememer that one! You might need some side photos for the gurus to see that can do a good job of evaluation. Unfortunately, I am not one of them! I have some hatchery girls too and I love them to pieces!

Ok...as soon as I have time I will do that. Thanks

I can't tell much about her type from the front, but she sure is cute! One of the best looking hatchery silkies I have ever seen form what I can tell! She may not be competitive at an open show, but she is stunning for hatchery! Too cute and I LOVE the name. She looks so sweet!

Thanks
