Devil Chicken (Guess the breed)

I don't know if the term "smooth feathered show girl " is an "official" name used by breeders. Sounds more like something made up to call the crosses that weren't what he wanted them to be.

I know when you outcross NN's that the ones that don't have the naked necks do not carry the NN genes. They are just mutt chickens. They are NN outcrosses that didn't get the NN genes. I don't know if an "NN outcross" is what they are called.
I don't know if that works the same way with Silkies.
Your bird may be a NN/Polish cross or an NN/Silkie cross. I am not sure where the feathers on its feet come into the mix.
I would say find a Showgirl thread here on BYC, do some reading and then ask some of the knowledgeable folks posting there about it.

Silkies have the five toes and the foot feathering, I just didnt know if you would get a chicken like this from a NN x Silkie (smooth feathering)

Ahah! Here is a link that describes domninant and recessive traits in silkies.

Yes, you would get smooth feathering from a silkie/NN cross. As someone said before, the silkie gene is recessive, so it must come from both parents in order for the feathers to be silkied. The first generation of a silkie/nn cross would be smooth feathered birds. Breed yours back to a silkied feathered bird and you should get silkied feathered chicks. Don't know the percentages and what not, but that is my basic knowledge of genetics for silkie feathering. As far as him calling her a smooth feathered show girl, when I looked at the picture that is what popped into my head. It makes sense to me, to call a bird like her a smooth feathered SG. If she's a 1st generation cross, that's basically what she is in my mind. Then again, I try to use the "kiss" methodology when I am able

It's a cockerel and it looks to be a first generation showgirl. Silkie x Turken (Naked Neck) cross. This would result in the smooth feathers, just as 19hhbelgian stated.

 

[Puresilk]

dont believe its a cockerel....

 

[Paaz1120]

I agree with rodriguezpoultry. It has the redding around the face, a cockerel trait. Plus if you look it has Cockerel wattles coming in.

I know you want it to be a pullet but you have a Cockerel on your hands. I'm sorry.

But He is Very Cute!!

Ya, its a boy sorry, I can guarentee it

 

[Elite Silkies]

I am almost certain that it's a Cockerel and a SilkiexNN crossing.

Black skin, 5 toes, crest, feathered feet - Silkie - definately
Naked neck - Turken
So its pretty unanimous its a silkie X turken

I'm also pretty darn sure thats a cockeral as well - the redding the waddle forming, the saddle feathers points to male alone and the crest slicking back and sticking out like that is indicitive of a silkie cockeral - I've seen silkie cockerals with barely any comb whatso ever and others with bad combs and walnut combs that look like wads of gum stuck to their foreheads = yours may just have a small comb - but my money is on cockeral from my experience with silkies and any other roosters I've ever owned over my life.

sorry.
