Showing Silkies

[CrazyChickenLady123]

Hello everyone, I am looking to get into showing this year. I breed Silkies, but have never shown any before. I have a couple of questions regarding the Silkies traits. The first question is can Silkies have different colored eyes, such as yellow? And do they need to be solid colored, like pure white or red, or black? I have splash colors and calicos. Also does the comb have to be a certain color? I have some with pink combs, and others with blue/ black.

Silkies must follow the American Standard of Perfection to do well in shows.
There are a few accepted color varieties: black, blue, splash, white, paint, partridge, self blue (lavender), gray (silver partridge), buff.
You can enter other varieties but they cannot get any award than best of variety.
Silkies must have black eyes and blue-black skin or they will be disqualified.

Do you think that the one with yellow eyes may have been mix bred somewhere down the line?

Calico Silkies were very recently crossbred, so yes, I believe that.
