Chicken Breed Focus - Showgirl

[Speak2Erin]

I don't do anything special for these guys. I live in a tampa bay. They do seem more fragile in appearance, but they are as sturdy as all our other chickens. I absolutely adore them in my flock.

As a new mom to the breed, are there any special requirements for chicks? Like taking care of the skin on their necks? I know this sounds ridiculous and I apologize. But I was just curious about keeping them from getting dry skin. thank you

Nothing special that you have to do for these guys. We live in tampa bay and they seem just as hardy as the rest of the flock, even with the bare neck.

So hard to find breeders in my area, I have to start from scratch, but I also strongly prefer a clean neck on my naked necks and showgirls, and I ADORE black skinned ones!

I just bought my first set of Showgirls. we are so eggsited. They are still little poofs (4days) so I hope they are cute and cuddly as the previous cuties are.

I won't give it all away but you can have 3/4 if you like. I'd like to be young again/

Yeah, me too!!!

I hope that this thread get's going again and people will show us what they have now. It would be nice to have more interest going with these!

What do the roosters look like?

That looks like an angora rabbit crossed with a naked neck chicken.
