Silkie thread!

Could everyone critique these chickens, and tell me how much the hatching eggs from these chickens should be priced. Keep in mind that the rooster won 1st at a show and the white hen won second. The first two are silkies and the third is a sizzle

Personally I wouldn't sell these bird's eggs. Their type is very, very poor. The hens are okay, but the rooster's tail is way too sharp, and he has visible wattles.

X2 and it looks like he has spikes on his comb which is a MAJOR no no. That then puts him at pet quality and you do not want show offspring off of him.

Cathleen Duckett bred the really typey one. Got the other from Tish at "Simply Splendid Silkies/Showgirls" as a chick. Thanks! -Pam

Does Cathleen have a website or is she a BYCer? I would like to see what her Silkie flock looks like.

Guys i am not mad or anything,but he is an excellent rooster. He doesnt have spikes on his comb, but I know it might look like it from that picture. The judges told me that he was a good rooster. In the picture I had not blow dryed him good yet.
