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

If she is frizzled, don't breed her with him. You will hatch out about 25% of birds homozygous for frizzle, known as curlys. They have brtttle feathers that break off easily.
 
I'm not sure if this as an accepted color for showgirls but I would call it a brown-red. Partridge usually has more brown in the body from what I have seen. I think he needs a little more crest myself but is still cute. Dont go by my word though I don't really know anything about them that is just my opinion

I would say partridge, and at his young age his colouring still has quite a lot of developing to go through. In another 6 months he will hav e a great deal more red & gold feathering than he currently has. However, he does have a lot of black in the body & breast that too many male partridge silkies lack.
