Naked neck silkie?

[ChickMan22]

What's the difference between a silkie and a showgirl (no fur on neck) because I really want some and I want one with fur on the neck?

A showgirl is a cross between a Silkie and a Turken (also called Naked Neck) then crossed back to a Silkie, possibly for a few generations. It depends if you want the dark skin and five toes as to how much crossing back you need.

The naked neck is a dominant trait, so it is easy. The silkie feathers are a recessive trait so you have to cross back to get that to pair up. To get a chicken with the naked neck and the silkie feathers is at least a two generation breeding project.

There is another name for a showgirl without a naked neck. It’s called a Silkie. You can get that without crossing anything. Just buy a Silkie.

Sorry, can’t help you. I have no idea what porcelain is. All I know about Splash is that it is black and white. I think it normally looks like black on white but I’m not sure that is all the time.
