What you people think of the type of my European Silkie roosters ?

Young BlueSilver rooster +- 9 months now, becoming an "extreme" type breeder


Adult BlackSilver rooster, a breeder for "extreme" types

Such gorgeous colors!!! Nice to have you back on the thread!

I have a question. I just got 2 black chicks that each have a pink toenail. How bad is that? They are about a month old.

Thanks Hawkeye, both are the big sized Silkies, 2 Kg when adult which is at 18 months. The thing I was

was the size of the crest (which in Europe must be medium).
Finaly after 3 years

I breeded the first 3 cockerels with hugh crests (was until now a lethal factor in European male Silkies).

Thanks Peepblessed, this are my standard colors (changed from based on gold to based on Silver) With them I continued towards "new" colorations in my Silkies.
Did you notice the green shine on the BlackSilver rooster's tail-feathers ? Do you know what causes this ?

I definitely noticed the green. My black silkie has that too. I do not know what caused it but I bet you do.

Also thanks to jfaith. I like more the US-type which I try ro breed in my birds. In a few months I am going to cross for the first time my hens with an US-Silkie rooster I became of an Italian woman which several of you probably know "Moroseta" .
