My Blue Showgirl from OKBetsy -

Beautiful! I love the blues...hoping to hatch one this summer. I have black and splash showgirls hatching right now!

Here is the ONE, SINGLE decent Paint I managed to hatch in 2012. S/he is currently 6 weeks old. How does it look to you guys? Please be brutally honest. Any ideas about sex?























(HER SIBLINGS ARE FOR SALE, BTW, IN 8 WEEKS OR OLDER.)

Beautiful! Looking very boy-ish to me right now.
Those spots should get bigger.
Good luck with your baby.

Thought I'd pu this up here as well, since we all love showgirls already, and the market is pretty elite...

I have a lovely young pair of pure White Showgirls available. They are heterozygous (bearded and bowtied), so could be used to begin a linebreeding program. They are 10 weeks old. I am fairly certain that one is a cockerel and one is a pullet, though sexing silkies is notoriously difficult. They are beautiful, with good silkie conformation, 5 toes, great purple skin, middle toe feathering, and excellent vaulted skulls and crests. They both have beards and bowties. They will be sexually mature at about 6 months. These cuties are out of Inga Ladd stock. Please visit our website at compoundshowgirls.weebly.com if you aren't sure what a Showgirl is. These birds are extremely rare and valuable. I don't charge as much as they are really worth, since I've never had any interest in showing. I will happily hold them for you upon Paypal payment receipt. These are certainly fantastic show prospects. Showgirls are shown as AOV Silkies, and a Showgirl is a Showgirl, even if it is a boy. I have included some pics of their older siblings and their mothers, as well. These two birds are $45 each, or $80 for both.

Shipping to just about anywhere in the contiguous U.S. is $50. I do have an approved shipping container for them to go in if necessary. I will send them to you ASAP upon Paypal payment receipt of $130. They DO have to go together if shipped, but not necessarily if they are picked up.

I also have two breeder quality 6 week old Heterozygous Paint Showgirls available. They are too young to accurately sex. They are VERY faintly spotted, but will throw Paint babies. They would be a good start to a Paint program, though they are not perfect. They have good silkie type, good feet, and nice soft feathering, but they do have some light skin that I doubt will ever darken completely. Their sibling (who is NOT for sale) is absolutely beautiful, and was born with no pink skin whatsoever, a nice dark beak, decent spotting, and great dark yes without pigment holes, so they are quite capable of throwing babies of much better quality than themselves, with careful breeding. I have included some pictures of the one chick out of this batch of babies that I AM keeping, as I don't have too many good pics of the ones I'm not super impressed with. These two (the SIBLINGS of the Paint pictured) are $20 each or $35 for both. I can ship them as well, but they would have to go together. Shipping is $50.

I have a White from Paint regular (feather necked) Silkie (sibling to the two breeder quality Paints) that you may have for FREE if you buy all four of the others at $115. As five birds will not comfortably fit into the shipping containers I use, you WILL have to come pick them up if you'd like all 5. I CANNOT ship these 5 birds together for you.

I am happy to hold these birds for pickup or the shipping date of your choice UPON RECEIPT OF PAYMENT.

Call or text 479-739-one864, or PM me on BYC if you have any questions not answered here.

Hello everyone! I really enjoy seeing all of your beautiful birds. I am currently in the market for a showgirl and am looking for anyone in the greater Los Angeles or San Diego area that is breeding them. If you have any chicks or pullets for sale in So Cal, or know anyone who does, I would love to hear from you. Thank you!
