SO, can a red Silkie be shown?

I'm confused ... nothing new!

I thought red was not a standard Silkie color, thus cannot be shown. However, I saw a breeder here in my neighborhood selling show quality Silkies. So, can the be shown or not? Are they allowed at the local fair level, just not APA? Thanks

ANY variety can be shown, however an unrecognised variety for the breed cannot place above Best of Variety or Best Any Other Variety (it that is judged). The only way that unrecognised varieties can become recognised is by being shown.

Thank you!

So, would another red Silkie have to be at the show for there to be competition to win Best of Variety? Or will they lump all non-standard colors together and judge them as Best of Other?

Thanks
