They would have a 50-50 chance of coming out like the one in the photo. My roo is half Silkie, but he was a reject for the breeding program because he's a giant and the only thing that tells you he has Silkie in him is that he has 5 toes on each foot. Some of his offspring have had tinted skin and muscle along with the crest, but none have been Silkie-feathered.
As far as using these for showgirls, I don't think they'd be useful for that. Three of the girls are his daughters, and one a granddaughter, all blue, so I don't know exactly what genes are hiding at this point, but I can assure you that there won't be any fluffy, dark-skinned babies out of this bunch. The recessive white baby was a real surprise. His down was smoky, so I thought he was splash until all his feathers came in!
Here's my roo. He's missing his tail in this photo.
He has some minor barring, and has produced barred offspring.
