showgirls

A thread for me to post pictures, other random thoughts and updates on my breeding projects. I currently keep Buff Sussex, Barnevelders (Gold and Silver), silkies and showgirls in various colours. I'll start with the Sussex and add the others in seperate posts. All recent pictures show...

I just hatched out 7 chocolate showgirls from my chocolate pen. Fun part is I do not have any showgirls in that pen. These chicks are my first batch from the pen and I bought the Chocolate parents as eggs last year from a breeder who does sex-linked and who also has showgirls in her line. My two...

I have a turken roo and four silkie hens. Can I eventually hatch out showgirls. I don't know or understand the genetics of this mix. I still have found the right book for Dummies on it either. If anyone has experience PLEASE share. I have access to silkie roo and turken hens..... what should...

Alright, hope im not in over my head here. I want to make sure I have this atleast somewhat right. I have this satin showgirl. And all of birds from the same hatch are showgirls except one roo. Who I guess is not a showgirl but rather a silkie because his neck is feathered ? but he's a silkie...

Hi there fellow chicken tenders! We sell/ship Silkie, Satin, and Showgirl eggs, any have the possibility to be frizzled. We ship to just about every state, but do not ship to Alaska or Hawaii. We have shipped almost 100 egg shipments throughout the U.S. Egg info and disclaimer 😊: Our eggs are...

Does anyone have any sources they trust to outline different color variants for different breeds? Someone told me the one Silkie we hatched is a Cuckoo (she's the breeder we received the egg from) and that it's kind of hard to find sometimes.

Can anyone tell me what these are? I have been worried its lymphoid leukosis but I’m not sure it would present this early. I’m new to showgirls but everything I’ve read said they are fairly hardy birds, some sites even say disease resistant (but being a microbiologist not sure I buy into that)...

I recently got my hands on a group of showgirl mutt chickens. Don't judge them, I know they are silly looking but I love them. 🤣 I know my white frizzle is a boy, he already has a big comb and wattles coming in. I suspect the black is a pullet. Stumped on the mille fleur, but hoping a girl. Any...

Hello! I have been around chickens my whole life but am new to raising them. I have gotten jnto showgirls, and frizzles as a hobby and would like to talk with some experienced chicks I'm not so great at sexing them, and just in general need some guidance!

Hello guys Ive taken a few years off from raising chickens but have decided to get back into it. Unfortunately I sold my brinsea incubators and just have a homemade one left which I don't trust 100% for shipped eggs. I'm located right on the MN/WI border and looking for breeders of...

I bought these two silkies thinking they were buff when they were aprox. 2 to 3 days old. They are not coloring up buff at all. They seem way to light and one has a pattern. They are pure bred and came from one of the big breeders that supply the feed stores. I just started raising silkies and...

I have a couple silkies that I hatched but I’m unsure of the color. The rooster is a white showgirl with a silver gene. Then hen is a partridge showgirl possibly with a blue or silver gene. Maybe someone that’s been breeding silkies can tell me what I have. I’ve only had them about 6 months.

hello, I'm looking for silkie hens or pullets. I'm not allowed to have roosters in my neighborhood. Live in Richmond VA willing to travel. TY

Show me your Showgirls! I adopted a Showgirl Roo a few months ago but had to find him a new home because he was way to aggressive with my girls. My 2 silkies hadn’t laid eggs in months until the day after the Roo found a new home. After incubating those eggs and hatching last week, he left us...

I have 7 roosters and 3 hens. My beginning plan was to rehome my roosters, but I got too attached. I love them all and am prepare to keep them all. They are all so unique and interesting. I love learning how they communicate and I think I’m beginning to understand it. These birds are...

My hatch was amazing and I have waaaaaaaaaay too many birds! Help me and get some cuties in the process! They are 3 weeks old now. 1 chick for $10, additional chicks are $5. I do not ship; pick-up only. I am in Northern Colorado. Please message if interested!

I apologise in advance for the photos. My only camera is my phone. I wish that they were clearer. I was brought a pair of roosters, because they were "crazy." Both are frizzled, so the crazy part does not surprise me. In my experience, male frizzles are always. Battier than other birds. I was...

Recently I had a batch of baby chicks 15 were born, but 2 of them didn't make it. Now few days later I see one of the little showgirls growing straight feathers. That's weird but I guess my Cochin bantam got on her. My very first showgirl like that tho... so how you call them chicks?
