I love my showgirls they show you just how intresting chickens can get. The guys are bantum so they take up less space and are adorable. I love their silkie feathers and cute naked necks. They are very interesting and a chicken that will interest most people. I love these little guys!

Pros: Unique, a joy to watch
Cons: Very slow growing

First time I saw a picture of a Show Girl I didn't care for it, didn't want one either. Now I have one Show Girl. The egg was kinda forced on me to hatch. Chick is 5 months old and I still don't know if it's male or female. I think they are a Good ornamental chicken. I also have a female Silkie, so if my Show Girl is male I will breed them. They grow on you!

Pros: Adorable, fun, tons of personality, great mothers, eye catcher, usually sweet,
Cons: Foot feathers will get dirty or broken! I find it hard to find quality birds. They are not an accepted breed YET!

I love my Showgirls!  I love their personalities!  Mine seem to know they are special and their personalities prove that.  Would love to see them accepted and enjoy showing them.  My birds lay year round for the most part and I do find they lay more regularly than the silkies.  I also find they hatch stronger than the silkie.  If you love them great if you hate them don't tell me.  I personally can't figure out why so many people are so opinionated about this breed.

Pros: friendly, unique, showy
Cons: dirty feet and feathers, slow to mature

What a fun bird to own!  People either hate them or love them.  They are basically a Silkie in personality.  Friendly, calm, easy to raise.  I hate to see mine dirty, but they do get that way.  Easy to bathe and they seem to enjoy it.

 

Slow to mature.  Not a reliable layer, 3 to 5 eggs a week.

 

What a sight in the barnyard.  Visitors are drawn to them and want to hold/cuddle them.

Pros: friendly, easy going, beautiful, soft
Cons: I wouldn't let mine free range. I think being so small, bright white, and having her vision hindered would make her a prime target for hawks.

My Diva is kept in a pen with pine shavings so she doesn't get too dirty.  I do give her time in the run to take a dirt bath.  Still, she keeps clean.  She is so soft, really seems to enjoy being held. She's a fun bird for the kids and they love to share her.  Okay, I admit it, I love to share her! lol.png  I delight in collecting her eggs because I can't believe that a bird that already gives us so much also provides us with eggs.
