These are four of my five silkie chick, aged 7 weeks and a little bit.

The fifth chick is similar to chick one, but a much more muddied/mixed color gold/buff so I don't think would be a good candidate. I'm not sure that one or two are clean enough colors? And the gingery head of chick three makes me think s/he would be no good either? I think Chick four is the most likely, but then s/he is the smallest of the bunch so I really don't know now? Any ideas and thoughts?

I don't, but going with the online one, I don't think any are fabulous specimens, but they are all I have to give it a go with If chicken showing is something I enjoy, then I'll look to getting better birds
