Showgirl thread- for posting pictures and discussing breed!

[chiqita]

Bowties are more popular and you can gurentee them and still breed showgirl to silkie . showgirl to showgirl can produce unwanted loss of feathering or as I affectionately call it black butt syndrome.

This is when they are born with large areas on their behind along the backbone or keel without feathers. The feathers get long enough to cover it eventually but they can be more fragile and can freak people out even more when growing out.

The double nn gene has to be showgirl to showgirl breeding.

I have a OK quality paint Silkie he came from a well known breeder so I'm hoping he throws better babies then him. And the showgirl is a possible split but its been so dang hot here no one wants to lay
