I am new to chickens and showgirls also, my oldest is about 2 months now, I can't wait to see which ones are hens. You are lucky to have breeders near you, I have had to order hatching eggs to acquire all but the sizzle one I found this weekend. Welcome :)

No question is silly! Showgirl is the name of the breed and you can have Showgirl hens and Showgirl roosters.

I awoke to greet my very first Showgirl this morning! wee.gif After the 6 day trip in the mail, and some high humidity spikes during the incubation, I didn't think any of this batch would make it. Introducing, Lazerus! gig.gif

Yes, bearded and Bowtied! I was so hoping for a NN roo, but I think I'll keep him/her. big_smile.png The other one that hatched from his clutch was a Silkie, the rest of the Silkies in there are from my eggs. I have 3 SG eggs still in the bator, but today is day 23, so I am losing hope for any more to hatch.  Good luck with your hatch!! fl.gif
