They wont sit still, but here are a couple photos... Can you see the naked neck? : )

Oh my gosh! That little light colored one has the most adorable little face!

Thanks, she is such a puff ball, she is almost round! She has a couple spots of dark hairs so I am sure she is a paint Silkie!

That's what I'm hoping for. I've seen some gorgeous paints and I'll not stop until I have one!

I hatched a few this Summer but they have very light spots so far. I wonder how they will feather out... I saw some eggs for paint showgirls, that is very tempting for me ; )

I love the Show Girls, but husband said they look too "weird". He also said the same about Frizzles. He doesn't know that there were a couple of each in the pens I got the eggs from. If they hatch I'm just going to be like "Wow! How did THAT get in there?"

Lol.

Show Girl silkies are weird looking, but they are also amazing. My Show "girl" rooster is very healthy and manages to be the father of quite a few eggs, even though we have both standard and bantam roosters.

The two white ones are both his decendents.


Also his chicks or grandchicks

Flo himself (we thought he was going to be a girl, hints the name)

Nice birds! The naked necks are ugly in an adorable sort of way. I really wanted a showgirl hen so hopefully I will get a couple. I do think the showgirl roosters get a little freaky looking... no offense intended to Flo ; ) I have one who has some lighter highlights and a huge vaulted skull... I am pretty sure his name is Elvis already. I try to get a pic of him.

Elvis... I might have to make a tiny guitar for him...
