    Showgirl thread- for posting pictures and discussing breed!

    The naked neck gene does not just affect the neck it also reduces overall feathers by 40% or so. If you look at an adult NN look to see where the feathers attach and you will see they are not all over but in a few rows with some big bare spots. as babys it is more noticable but when they are...

    Naked Neck/Turken Thread

    This only works in some reptiles like turtles tortoises crocs and a few lizards. The chicken industry wishes it worked with chickens as hatcherys and egg producers could produce mostly females and the meat producers could produce all males. FYI In turtles and tortioses high temps produce females...

    Anyone using black soldier flies?

    As long as you only add a few lbs of meat a day they will bury it and have no smell at all. Maybe some restaurants give there veg bottoms and scraps?

    Anyone using black soldier flies?

    My harvester is going crazy right now. I throw everything in there leaves, weeds, chicken litter, dead animals. I once put in a dead racoon, it had a funky smell for several days but a10 lb racoon makes about 5 lbs of BSF. If you come across any small roadkill toss it in. Also bad eggs from the...

    Yes they are likely Nn's. Most SG are Nn because people breed SG to pure silkies to improve them plue most people like a bigger bowtie. The non naked neck babys should not be sold as silkies as they are from a SG project. It's ok for them to be pets or for eggs but if people want to breed...

    Showgirl thread- for posting pictures and discussing breed!

    If you breed showgirl to showgirl Its is very hard and would take many many generations to improve it so it is best to breed SG to a pure silkie because silkies have many genes to be added into the SG. NN and Nn are only the gene for the Naked Neck the trait, Nn is the "recessive" form of the...

    If it has a pea type comb it will likely lay a greenish/olivish egg.

    Its a frizzled Nn. I am breeding them now and have about 30 babys. I like this one for several reasons... White, clean legs, small comb no waddles. Is it LF or bantom. I like LF (large fowl). It does not have much silkie if any in it tho. I would like to see it in 6 months. Are you on the NN...

    Showgirl thread- for posting pictures and discussing breed!

    What I do is keep a mixed flock and when I want to produce pure babys I pick out the breeders and pen them up and hatch out those eggs. Just keep switching out the different breeds throught out the year. You should get some pure silkies and pair them up with your different SG's. just breed each...

    Showgirl thread- for posting pictures and discussing breed!

    Cull does not necessarily mean kill but people need to make sure they disclose these are project birds and not pure. This is a hobby for almost everyone as there is little proffit to be made with chickens but even as a hobby if you are interested in producing quality birds you need to produce a...

    Showgirl thread- for posting pictures and discussing breed!

    The small or no bow tie is usualy the Homozygous form of the nn meaning they have 2 doses of the nn gene. With Homozygous (usualy shown as NN) all the babys will be Nn (Nn means Heterozygous) if bred to a non nn, and all of them will have Heterozygous gene Nn and a larger bow tie. If you breed a...

    Showgirl thread- for posting pictures and discussing breed!

    Are you just hatching for fun or are you wanting to breed for showgirls? generaly if you are breeding for showgirls you should only breed showgirls to pure silkies so you improve them and make them more like silkies each generation. all the non NN "silkie" type chicks should be sold as project...

    Showgirl thread- for posting pictures and discussing breed!

    These chicks have little to no FM so even if they have silkie type feathering they will not be silkies/showgirls. Are these first generation NN to silkie? If they are they will not have silkie feathering you will need to breed them back to a silkie t get the feathering. either way these need to...
