Overall appearance:

The silky has a particular plumage structure due to the disappearance of the hooks which naturally keep its feathers in good order. Its appearance is "ruffled", soft to the touch, hence its name. Silky subjects fly with difficulty and are therefore more fragile and subject to accident and fractures.
