Welcome to the silkie world, @TxChickieFan! Your silkies are beautiful!

I just introduced some new friends of mine to my flock and their first impression on seeing a silkie was, "What is that?" That question always makes me laugh, and I get to explain to them what a silkie is and how their feathers work!

A bit of happy news, Misty (a blue silkie pullet of mine) won Best Of Breed in my local fair against three other silkies! She has a bit of strange color leakage on her chest, but the judge picked her out immediately. I asked her to narrate what she was doing and learned a lot. She said the other three have too long of legs and aren't as fluffy, so she didn't mind Mist's color leakage.

Congratulations on Misty's win at the fair, you must be proud of her! :)

I hope to show locally eventually too, I've heard from lots of people now that it is a really good way to learn.
