Frizzled blue partridge silkie showgirl?

[aaserviceninja]

Im new to silkies and still learning the colors. Is this the correct description for my roo here?

I have to list him for sale because im not allowed to have roosters where I live and he just started crowing about a month ago.

What is a fair asking price for this little guy? I’m in Joshua Tree, CA

Can't help, with colour, but he's not silkied, nor a frizzle. He's a satin showgirl. Or a satin nakedneck, since showgirl implies the bird is silkied, so it's kind of an oxymoron

I recently got schooled in a silky group when I called the silkies I bought "show quality." You can't even say that and not get challenged with the pros who think they know it all and probably do lol. And yes, showgirl means a naked neck silkie, so I was explained as well. Other breeds with naked necks are just naked necks for some reason. I don't get it.

Anyway, that's not a frizzle.

Here in Wisconsin, even a fancy silkie rooster at most gets $10-$20. I usually am happy to give them away to a good home.

I've heard the diehard silkie croud can be...peculiar. I too don't really know why NN silkies are called showgirls, but it's probably for thus exact reason (I'm purely speculating though). Showgirl is a silkie tha is homozygous for the silkied gene, and is NN (whether homozygous or heterozygous, I don't know if it matters). If the bird is a satin and therefore is not homozygous for the silkied gene, then it would probably be more fitting to call it a satin NN

Technology it does.
Heterozygous is a showgirl. Homozygous is a stripper.

This is very true. At least in the proposed standard for Showgirls here, strippers are not included.
