What the heck is a showgirl?

[hatchaholic]

I think they are really cute. But, then again, I like the turkens, too... They are so ugly, you can't help but love them!!!

I think Showgirls are the poodles of the chicken world. And I dont like poodles, either.

Sorry, ninjapoodles!

But it looks to me like if showgirls are always crossed back to a pure silkie male the offspring will eventually loose the genetics for naked necks.

Its actually the opposite. If you cross showgirl to showgirl over and over and over, they start to look more like turkens than silkies. Crossing them with a "normal" silkie keeps the silkie characteristics in the line. Its also required in order to keep the "bowtie" in place.

I think they look like something out of a Dr. Seuss book!
