I am new to silkies. I have seen some pics on here. that have single red combs. I thought the silkie had a dif. comb. I am interested in showgirls. I have a white showgirl, and I have her in with a blue bearded rooster. He is a mean little sucker. He attacks everytime I go in the pen. He was just given to me within the last 4-5 weeks, so I did not raise him. One of her eggs hatched, It hatched on the 22nd or 23rd day, I have had problems with incubators. I blame that partly for my problems. I have another one pipped now. Should start to zip open within the next few hours. This one was put in the bator on 10/6 so this is the 22nd day. My still air bator was around 99.5. I think that is too low. I have another batch in another bator now, temp around 101-102. Humidity right now is around 40. Do I need to raise or lower humidity?
Anyhow my question is, what colors should I get from the mating of a white Showgirl and a blue bearded rooster. The chick is kind of gray with white. It is a Showgirl. I understand I could get Showgirls or Silkies and if they are not showgirls, they will not carry that gene. Is this true? I am very interested in the Showgirls. Also, how do you get the splash coloring on these chicks. I want my flock just for laying and pets. I have mixed breed hens for eggs also, and I raise turkeys for Holidays.
I would love to see pics of Showgirls that anyone has, please.
Thanks,
