Silkies Of A Different Color

[joeW96]

Hi
I have seen some verry nise examples of the breed and some that I have not seen before in the uk.

I was also wondering if people could give me some advice on my silkies hear are some pictures.

if anyone is thinking that they did well at the show. But there was only my 3 sillies in the show. lol

Your birds are very pretty! Here in America there is a lot of imphasis place on full crests, heavy foot feathering, round bodies, well placed wings, toes and toe spacing. Here is a great link for some examples. This link shows both pet quality silkies and show quality. Lots to chose from.

I just purchased a pair of gray, and don't know much about the color. Can grays be created? Will my gray pair produce all gray offspring? Sorry for the "newbie" questions.

Thanks.

Second one neeeds more foot feathering, and 3rd needs more crest. From what little I know of British silkies, they look like they would compete well. Are yours largefowl?

Hi
thank you for the advice they are still growing and the feathers on there feat are developing i am very happy that you think that they could be of good enough quality to show.
Also they are large fowl but since i took the photos of them they have grown and put some more weight on so i am hopping that they achieve top quality.
Thanks again for the advice.
