Showgirl Experts! HELP! (PICS)

[CarriBrown]

This is Giblet, who was hatched in November. Giblet's two hatch mates are confirmed roos.

Anyone have a guess as to what Giblet is?

Excuse Drumstick's "zombie-roo" eye!

I THINK it's a girl...The first picture where the crest is nice and round makes me say girl.
How does she look in comparison to her hatch mates? Any pics of them to share?

 

[CarriBrown]

I don't have hatch mates.

Noodle was hatched and abandoned by a first time broody, so I picked up Drumstick and Giblet as babies to put with Noodle.
I hope Giblet is a girl!!!

Drumstick and Noodle are both crowing, and have been since the end of December. So, I'm hoping Giblet hasn't started because SHE is a SHE!

Hi!
I opened this thread and said to myself " Wow, those birds look JUST LIKE my Odd Birds".
Lol!
I agree, she's a she. I have a beautiful blue girl that looks almost identical (and a roo that looks like the barred one).

First off that is NOT A SHOWGIRL. maybe some kind of showgirl cross but definitely not a showgirl.

I also think it is a girl.

did you notice the lack of silkie feathering? showgirls are silkies with the nacked neck gene, without silkie feathering it can't be anything but a cross. a showgirl is not a cross it is a breed. showgirls breed true and do not throw normal feathered birds, I should know I have 20+ showgirls and have hatched many of thier eggs and I have never had one throw a normal feathered chick.

Keystone bantams,

This is probably an F1 bird. It takes awhile for them to breed true, but originally they were just mixes of turkens and silkies. Typically, the silkie gene does not show up in F1 birds. You have to breed them BACK to a silkie.

Looks like a girl to me! Very cute!
