Chortle Chook Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Their top knot is less of a powder puff and more of a weird set of feathers sprouting out of their heads making them look somewhat startled, but not uggly. They aslo have rather pretty, long hackles and should have a purple comb and wattles. This is my boy (but note he should have a purple comb and wattles, not the red one he has). The white silkie boys are absolutely stunning with their white feathers and dark faces. Daxigirl also has a lovely partridge one and might share a picture.
