[happyheart]

Well what do you all think? this is one of the girls I am thinking of buying for my daughter for 4-h she is a year old and i will get her sister as well.
I truely value the opinions of my fellow BYCers.
Thankyou

I must say silkies are just so freakin cute no matter what age they are

Well, I can tell you my daughters would love her to death!

She's very pretty, but I don't show birds, so other than just saying she's adorable, I am no help!

If showing her in showmanship then she will be alright. If showing in American Poultry Association approved shows...she won't have a chance. She looks like a hatchery bird, but a cute one!

What makes her look like a hatchery bird? Sorry,but I don't know. I'm new to Silkies. I really appreciate honest feedback. Thankyou

Well, first off:
Her crest is very short/narrow for a show bird.
Her beard is very small.
Her leg feathering is a bit sparser than I'd like.

Does she have a vaulted skull? (Bump underneath where her crest is?)

This, in my opinion, is a good silkie for APA sanctioned shows:
