I've got my first Showgirl! Mom finally let me get one from the breeding farm down the road. You can see her in the brooder. I don't have a name, though

Any ideas?

Quote: I can show you pictures... once I take some new ones.. I have old pics in my siggy. I might be selling late spring... I need to wait until my roos get big enough to breed. Aragorn is a very beautiful, mild mannered, and sweet roo, but not enough to keep up with all my hens... do you have an incubator? I might sell eggs...I am leery about selling chicks through the mail. I know people do it... but I can only get so many at a time hatched.

Yes, that would be awesome! Yes we do... but my mom probably won't want more chickens... we have around 110 now...
