Showgirls

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.

The first time I saw one in a picture I went EWWWW. But they really grow on you and am now considering starting out with one to see how it goes. I think they are adorable.

Pennie you know I get that a lot. I have several people who came to me looking only for Silkies and were just as you stated "EEEWWW Showgirls". They have since then fallen in love with them and literally beg me for any I will let go of. I think most probably saw their first Showgirl from Google pics which is not always the best representation of a QUALITY breed Showgirl. I also agree that the lesser quality Showgirls are not as easy on the eyes. When you get ready let me know I'd love to add another breeder for the Showgirls.

I used to think they were ugly now I want one or two or three.

So funny! My friend and I first saw them at a poultry show and we laughed so hard I thought they would kick us out! Now I have 6 in the 'bator and I can barely wait for those cuties to hatch!

I live in Chino Valley Arizona. It is close to Prescott.

Agree with you 100%! That's why mine was named "Diva" by her original owner and she remains a Diva!
