show vs pet/show girls

[kelliepulido]

What is the difference? I assume it is the same as in showing dogs for conformation.Breeding to the standard etc. And how about show girls do you only get one breeding the nn to a silkie or can you get show girls by breeding 2 show girls together? Thanks Kellie

Show vs. pet showgirls can have many things seperating them. Some of the things that could make a bird pet quality could be as simple as only having 4 toes on one foot, red necks/skin, smaller crest, wrong comb, poor leg feathering, odd tail, color flaws, or some others.
I am pretty sure it takes around 4 breedings to make them. The silkie gene is recessive so the first generation will be smooth feathered, 5 toes, feathered feet, small crest, maybe beard/muffs. You then keep breeding back to silkies to get better type and the correct silkie feathering. A showgirl is simply a naked necked silkie.

What kind of show would you show a showgirl in?

You could show a showgirl in any poultry show. It would be entered as an AOV silkie.
