Showgirl thread- for posting pictures and discussing breed!

[chickendales]

I've been reading for a while now and you all have helped me understand SG's much better. There is still so much I don't know.
Do you have a picture of a paint or can you tell me what color it is. I have never seen one but it sound pretty.
Right now I only have two SG males which I was upset about but maybe it is a good thing since silkie's are easier to find.
Is there a standard for SG? How do I determine if it is a good quality bird?
Here are my boys, are they considered decent birds or not? Buzz has a weird comb, kind of like a big flat knob. Because of it I wasn't sure about breeding him, but he does have a great personality. He follows me around like a puppy and as about as curious as one.

Hey Stoo! I will have black and blue SG chicks available around Nationals and I am located only 25 minutes north of the show grounds. I have 3 that are adults or almost adults of which I will sell the roo (since he is the daddy to the rest of them). He is mean little bugger, but he makes beautiful babies! I also have 4 chicks that just hatched out with a few more due to hatch this week. I will probably keep a couple for my BBS pen, but any of the extras will be available to new homes.

I ALSO have a plethora of beautiful partridge silkie chicks available. And anyone who is headed to Nationals is more than welcome to come by my farm to talk chicken!

I am trying to persuade hubby into letting me go to the show. It's a 12 hour trip each way.
Alot of the fellow peeps want to go, but we just can't coordinate everything.
I may just have to say... I am going... But trying to be nice.
Ain't love grand?
I will let you know my plans when they are finalized.
Definately interested.

If anyone is near Fort Smith, Arkansas, I will have started showgirls available soon, and currently have hatching eggs available. Here is our Craigslist ad, just ignore the breed description stuff; most people nearby have no idea what a silkie should look like, let alone what a Showgirl is...
