Congrats on the new egg!I am so stoked she laid her first egg today, I wasn’t really expecting it as she hadn’t been squatting. But at 20 weeks I guess it isn’t unusual. And it’s a nice pink colour.

She is stunningly beautiful. I bet you could enter her in a contest if they have any up there. Around here, some who have bought our silkie chicks say they're hoping to raise some 4H competitors. I don't even know about competitions higher than that around here, but I know they have some in Milwaukee. That's 2.5 hours south of us though. It doesn't matter as I've never had a single urge to enter any of mine in anything. I just like raising them.I am so stoked she laid her first egg today, I wasn’t really expecting it as she hadn’t been squatting. But at 20 weeks I guess it isn’t unusual. And it’s a nice pink colour.
No, they are way smaller. They all hatched 3/13 so I guess those two wound up being runts? I don't know the timing of the "showgirl" term. Maybe I should be calling them that instead of "the NNs" like it's a dirty word.The naked necks look so much smaller, Debbie. Is it because they don't have as much fluff?
At what point, or how many generations of breeding, before a naked neck is referred to as a showgirl?
Anyway they are an adorable little flock!

Thank you! Im going to read it this morning. Naked neck or showgirl, they are all cute to me. I can't imagine my flock without them.Janie, you made me do some digging about showgirls. I found this old thread: Difference between Silkie and Showgirl? Kind of funny
It was funny! I enjoy reading some of these old threads. I wish I'd have met some of the members who are no longer active.Janie, you made me do some digging about showgirls. I found this old thread: Difference between Silkie and Showgirl? Kind of funny
OMG you were right, Deb, those replies were cracking me up. I loved "You forgot about the teeth," but the one who said "A Showgirl is even more evil than a silkie. Showgirls put off low levels of Gamma radiation also," takes the cake.Janie, you made me do some digging about showgirls. I found this old thread: Difference between Silkie and Showgirl?

Not a silkie!
But, we gained these last night. The lady then asked me if I had a rooster she could have.
Needless to say, she left with a silkie rooster and hen, and we wound up adopting two parakeets. Meet Sugar Syrup and Lemonaid.
