Showgirl thread- for posting pictures and discussing breed!

[drumstick diva]

the showgirl roo to a turken sounds very interesting. Hope you will post plenty pictures when chicks are hatched.

If she has 1 silked gene then things get interesting.

You'll get
Smooth sizzles
Silkies
Sizzles
And
Frilkies ( silked sizzles)
With and without 1 nn gene so bowties and full necks.

Assuming your roo is a bowtie. If he is not all the offspring will be bowties.

That will be a fun pen!

Thank you for that! I have no idea about genetics, I am so interested in learning though. Keeping this for future reference.

The little black frizz is so cute, she is from an Araucana black mom, blue egger, and a partridge Sizzle roo....the SG is a bowtied non bearded paint roo. Very pretty. Excited to get lots of cute babies from him. Sounds like my Frizz will make a fun addition while we are waiting for my SG and Silkie babies to grow out, I have a fun assortment to put with him just need to see which ones are female (they take so long for me to figure out!)

The Frizz:

Hello all! I have a question about combs. Should all SG have a walnut comb? I'm looking to get one I found on craigslist and it looks like he has a single comb.

 

[chiqita]

Yes walnut comb. Straight comb is not easy to breed out and will pop up again several generations later. Not an issue for pets but bad for anything else.

 

[LaGeniaLoca]

Does the gene for comb type have certain dominant or recessive types?

 

[chiqita]

I don't know specifics I just heard warnings from other breeders.

Some pictures of chicks I hatched.

Love this little splash chick. My first splash chick to hatch here and love the look it has going on.

Both showgirl chicks together. I believe the blue is a boy and the splash is a girl, only time will tell. I no longer own these babies but wanted to share them anyways.

Tooooo cute!!! How long ago were they hatched, and where did your eggs come from?

 

[Momma 2 silkies]

They were from my March hatch and from my own SG roo and silkie hens. I get a couple chicks each hatch, I have 3 growing out now.
