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.
