What a wild looking bird! I think you are right a blue frizzle bowtied showgirl. To me it looks like a hen also based only on the lack of comb/waddles as I can't tell with the frissles if they have streamers or saddle feathers.
On another note my Lavender silkie hen that was thin died. She was the first bird I lost but I think she was at least 3 when I bought her. All of my others seem fine so I am hoping it was just old age. I am deworming everyone today just incase.
I also have 4 eggs from my lav/lav split sg pen due anyday now. The 6 I have been growing out are looking good but going though that really ugly phase. Out of that group I have 2 lav silkies, 2 lav showgirls, one split sg, and one silkie split. I also have a lone split sg that hatched about a week ago growing out with some BLRW chicks. I am really hoping one of the black sgs is a pullet so I can add her to my BBS pen. If one of the lav sg are a pullet they will either go in with my lav silkie or porcelain silkie roo. If I get a REALLY nice cockeral I may replace my main roo. I want one with a better comb (he has 2 tiny points- not visible unless you move feathers and look but always looking to improve). He would be very hard to let go though!
