Pros...Cons of my first Showgirl Roo...

[peachesdeese]

Well.... let me have it! Please rate him! And ....what color is he considered??

I'm going to say Partridge. Needs more feathering on the feet. The wing and tail feathers are too hard.

The crest seems to be more feathering than fluff.

If he were mine, I would def. name him ELVIS.

Elvis - definitely! He does look partridge in color, other than that I'm of no help, sorry

He's a frizzle, either a dark partridge or an off colored black. It's hard to gauge the quality on a frizzle. He's not too bad for a frizzled showgirl, although he isn't great. His crest and foot feathering is lacking. His wing feathers are fine, they can be hard, but should be as shredded as possible. His earlobes are a good color. If you're wanting to breed pure colors, either use him in a partridge pen or I'd suggest finding another male.

He is a frizzle, I didn't see until you said it. Now, I know why his crest looks like that.

So, I frizzle's feathers can be hard. I learn something new everyday.

If I saw this thing without knowing any better I wouldn't believe it was even a chicken!

Actually, it looks like a miniature ostrich.

How old is he? Looks young.......so if he is, he can still change quiet a bit.
He is cute all frizzled up the way he is!

i would say partridge for color. his back is kind of long, with hard feathers in wing and tail but you can work with that. he is cute.

I think he has great hair!

 

[Elite Silkies]

There is no doubt, I would take him in a heart beat. He has that face that you just wanna give a big ole kiss to. I just didn't pay close enough attention to the fact that he/she is a frizzle sg.

He is young... I haven't heard him crow yet! I also have a showgirl hen I just purchased. I dont think shes got the frizzle in her. I'll post her pictures too soon!
