I have a beautiful bearded Silkie rooster over 3 white Showgirl hens and one bearded white Silkie hen. Fertility has been excellent.

Eggs are $30 per dz and $15 shipping. I will package them very well but I can't guarantee anything due to the Post Office and incubation methods. I will promise quality, fertile and well secured eggs.

Our hatching has showed an average of 8 Showgirls and 4 Silkies per dozen. Our SGs are heavily bearded and 95% have the classic bowties. Good black skin color and feathered feet in all our chicks this year, no vaulted skulls to date.

Feel free to ask any questions.

Are these going to be white? What color is this? Love the bearded, with the bow ties too. :)
 
These will be all white. I have a black showgirl hen also but she is out of the group sitting on a clutch.

When she is back in the pen, I will update my original post.
 
A vaulted skull basically is a genetic trait that produces a gap or space in the skull. Some people like it, some people don't. A vaulted skull can improve crest size in silkies. Showgirls crests won't improve much with a vaulted skull.

I'm not a fan of the vaulted. To me, it looks and feels like tumor on their head. I kind of think of it as a birth defect but its fairly common in the polish, silkies and showgirls.
 
I need to spend some time and get a few better photos. Here's a few I have taken in the past.
