This is the correct sizzle. Frizzle on top of silkie.

That is exactly what my hen looks like except gray. My rooster has the same as well. I just posted some pics of the roo

Okay so your rooster is het Naked Neck. He will throw 50% NN offspring.
Your roo is the correct sizzle, so everything I said beforehand applies

But he's not silkied and its unknown if he carries one gene for it so how will he throw show girl offspring or silkied offspring?

The bowtie on the neck is indicative of only carrying one frizzle gene. He has silkie as well as frizzle. If you look closely you can see it. I've had frizzled cochin bantams and they didn't have the silkied fluff to that extent.

I'll take your word for it cause all I have is a phone and its hard to look closely at anything.

I apologize if I was pushing my points. I'm open to disagreement.

Push away I don't mind at all.
I don't mind disagreement, corrections or learning. We're all good

Can anybody explain to me or point to a thread talking about how showgirl genetics work? I have a black sizzle showgirl roo and no showgirl hens to breed him too. Im wanting to know what are the chances of getting showgirl babies and if the odds go up depending on what he is bred to? I have a polish top hat hen, a white silkie hen, and a sizzle silkie hen. Thanks!

If you breed Your roo to your white silkie hen you will get 50% Bow tie showgirl 25% Stripper showgirl and 25% normal silkies with none of the showgirl gene. Do not breed a frizzle to a frizzle or your chicks will have brittle feathers which means their feathers are so frizzled that they bend back so much that they brake off and that would be a mess. Also if you breed your white silkie to your roo the babies will be 50% frizzled and 50% straight feather.
