Cute buggers! Where did you get them from?

I would belive u if i had some

 

[ScaredOfShadows]

well I can tell you they are not silkies - silkies have black skin, even silkie mixes will have black or dark slatish skin

Ur probley right but what do u think the could be i did have my silkies mixing with my frizzles it must be that cause the one has 5 toes and only silkies have 5 toes

 

[sager:)silkies]

And i knoe there not silkies now but its fun guessing i personally think there my silkies mixing whith my frizzles as far as i know my frizzles could be frizzle cohchins right cause i bought them like a month ago so that's what I'm guessing

IA. jake :

I have a question for all you other silkie lover's. Are showgirls an APA bird?

Not recognised by ether APA or ABA. Enter as an AOV silkie, for example: "bantam bearded white showgirl silkie hen" or "bantam non-bearded paint showgirl silkie cockerel."

Regardless of whether the colour variety (white, blue, buff, paint, blue partridge, etc.) is recognised or not, as a showgirl they are not recognised.​

when shown they are naked neck silkies
showgirls are aov

So they can't be shown at the fair?​

Depends on your fair and its rules. In most cases non-recognised varieties can be shown, they just cannot place higher than Best of Variety or Best AOV (all unrecognised varieties for the breed).

I'd say first one is cochin; 2nd is silkieX, probably crossed with cochin.
