Oh, well, if it is over a month he should be just fine! If you want to enter him, you can. When does the entry close? You can always wait until right before the deadline ot make a final decision.
I don't have the best showgirls. I was lucky enough to start off with some good stock, I also have some whites that aren't my stock but were hatched from eggs given to me by Sheryl Butler. When going to visit my brother I stop by her place (several hours away) and spend time with her, talking...
You are eligible for BV and RV. The entry forms I have filled out have had a column for variety, breed, gender (cockerel, cock, pullet, hen)
When I have entered my showgirls this is how I answer for a white cockerel:
Breed: Silkie (I do not put bearded or non bearded because, in those with the...
I will PM you.
regardless, I would be interested to see how other people are progressing with getting their showgirls back to silkie type? How are you progressing with skin color, comb shape and color, width of cushion, etc?
One struggle I have had and have seen is getting good middle toe...
I do have some extra blue cockerels, same age and similar quality to the one posted, although the one posted has been promised for quite some time to lovely Letisha who I think goes by simply splendid silkies on here. The black boy I posted is also available. Too many cockerels this year.
Shay, they aren't accepted. Neither is lavender. You can show them, and if they have any hope of being accepted they need to be shown. Thank you for the compliments on the showgirls. The mother of the blue is a wonderful hen, she is very small but DENSE. Great layer, one almost every day...
Shay, actually they are NOT eligible to compete for Champ Feather Leg. They are not currently an accepted variety, but then again, neither are lavenders. Due to this, they can get best of AOV (all other varieties) in the silkie class. If enough people raise them so that they meet standard...

I need to get new pictures of the whites because they have filled out a bunch, in fact, I don't think I have pictures of my cockerels yet except from the shows. So, here's a pullet.
and this is the mother of the blues. I have a blue mihalik cock over her.
I have an ancient digital camera and relatively poor photography skills, but here are some young SG cockerels I photographed last night. Here's the black.

Sheryl Butler is from WA. She no longer has blues or blacks, only buffs and whites. I have cockerels available in white and blue... one black.
I don't understand what you mean by bearded or non-bearded SG? They have the naked neck gene, the heterozygous ones have a bowtie, and sometimes...
If you end up looking to replace your cockerel, I have some nice whites available that are SQ. One I've shown at two shows so far this season, but I only need one male with my white silkie cock as backup.
My start came from Sheryl Butler, who has been a real advocate for the Showgirls. I have...
