Thank you. I new she looked off with her body shape I just didn’t know what caused it.

I see how her legs could be to far back. Im new to silkies so I’m a little confused on what you mean by she’s is to upright.

I am trying to breed to the SOP. I do really like this bird but I was wondering if she had any flaws.

5 month old pullet. Probably one of my best ones so far. Wondering if she has good body structure.

Silkies come in 4 different feather types. Silkie, satin, sizzle and frizzle. If those birds are full silkie they would be considered satin and sizzle feathered. Do they have black skin or 5 toes on each foot. Those would determine if they are purebred.

I will separate her while she still has eggs. Once the babies hatch I re introduce her with the flock. Never had any issues

I’m a silkie breeder and I will say. Once a hen thinks she has eggs in a certain box she won’t leave it. Best thing to do is have her completely separate from the box she wants to be in. If you have another separate box use it for the birds that are laying. Put a golf ball or any round object in...

Looks a little dark and solid to be a silver partridge. Do you have pics of the parents?

Definitely copper Marans

I’m confused. The 2 outer toes are supposed to have feathers on them. Is that what you were referring to? I do notice the feather on his 4th toe on the right.

He’s only 5 months so he might grow into it. I was able to look at his parents when I bought him and they have very nice crests. I was looking to start breeding in general because I’m very interested in chicken genetics. I did notice that there were feathers growing out of his middle toes but I...

I have a couple of questions for the silkie people. His crest looks flat in the front is that ok, and from research I have done the beak is supposed to be a light gray am I correct? And are his feet good?

5 month old splash roo. I’m new to silkies so I was wondering if his body type was good. Any feedback and opinions are helpful!!

Some look to be buff and some could be partridge. They aren’t fully feathered out so it’s harder to tell. Most baby partridge chick have chipmunk stripes on the head. Buff chicks normally have no stripes.

I suspected that he is a silver partridge. I’ll keep him for now and see how he feathers out.
