Yes, I had to look them up. As long as they are loved, that's all that really matters.showgirls are Silkies x Turkens. I don’t think the barred one is a silkie, Turken, or showgirl though
I think he is probably the offspring of a showgirl and some other type of chicken. His feathers are not silkied, but frizzled (I think they call it). His feet look blue and he does have some black skin, so probably has some Silkie in his background. Silkies have 5 toes, rather than the standard 4 toes. Have you counted?Here is a better picture of his neck, it has no feathers. If he isn’t a showgirl what is he? View attachment 3410224
He is a lot younger in this picture than he is now, I can’t find a good side view of him as an adult.
Thanks! He does have 5 toes.I think he is probably the offspring of a showgirl and some other type of chicken. His feathers are not silkied, but frizzled (I think they call it).

Also, i’ve heard that a satin is a silkie and cochin mix to create a smooth feathered silkie. Do you think maybe that’s it?Thanks! He does have 5 toes.
It looks like a normal frizzle. If it didn't have the frizzle gene it would look like a satin, smooth feather, non frizzle/non silkie.The black one is a showgirl, and the white one I bought as a silkie, but I am one completely sure if he is a pure silkie? Maybe a satin? Maybe someone on here knows.
Ok, good to know! Whatever those baby’s are I sure do love themIt looks like a normal frizzle. If it didn't have the frizzle gene it would look like a satin, smooth feather, non frizzle/non silkie.
Could be, but somewhere in the breeding is a frizzle gene. That's what gives the feathers the curved flipped up look.Also, i’ve heard that a satin is a silkie and cochin mix to create a smooth feathered silkie. Do you think maybe that’s it?
