Silkie thread!

Anyone want to post a picture of really good silkie feet?
My cockerel has great feet but he has some webbing present between his 4th and 5th toes. IMO his foot feathering makes up for it but I'm wondering how likely he is to pass that trait on? It's not a complete connection just halfway up. The angle the toes are set is still good.

Troy Ohio has one going on April 24 &25 , also Lucasville, Ohio has one on April 9 . Hope this information is helpful

Awesome thanks so much for the info! Any idea on how to find the exact location for these?

What color would these be called, they are purebred silkie hens just under a year old.

She started out black, than got white little spots on her chest and little light brown spots on her wings. Her body has now truned a dark brown but her back and neck is still black.

She looks like a splash with gray but she has this odd light tannish/ oragneish top tone all over

Thanks for the help.

Speaking of having them all... anyone selling any young or adult silkies? It's starting to get hot here in TX and I know shipping wont be doable much longer

Teresaann24 anything going on in the Kentucky area next month or in May? I'm planning a trip home hoping to find a show or something when I go. Thinking I could drive to Indiana, Ohio or Tennessee if I can find something worth the drive. Maybe even W. Virginia I don't think that's too far away from central KY.

You need to make a swing through Mid S. TN while you're running the roads. Its time for a big flock reduction around here. Yes, I lost control and let them win the battle over hatching.

There might also be a paint male available.​

Vaulted skulls? Desireable? If so, why?

This chick is starting out with some good foot feathering

Here's a mystery... time will tell I guess. lol

I hatched what I thought to be a silkie egg, and I'm still not sure it wasn't a silkie egg. Anyway, the chick that hatched from what I thought was a black silkie hen and a lavender sikie roo, hatched looking exactly like the other silkies in feather coloring (charcoal grey), except it has pink skin, a single comb and 4 toes. So it looks like the others except it has no silkie characteristics at all. Is this possible or I set an egg that wasn't a silkie? I only have one hen that lays similiar size eggs and she's a lemon blue bantam english game looking hen.
