Hi Shnookie,
sorry I didn't see your question earlier.
YES my avatar is MILLIE a Blue SHOWGIRL
( transylvanian Naked neck x silkie )
When I went to Fairsing Farms to buy Showgirls, & there was alot to chose from.
All the birds had these Magnificent, full Pom Poms on their head....except one.
I picked 1 White BIG Poof pullet, 1 Blue BIG Poof pullet & this Blue "little" Poof pullet.
Frances tried to explain that BIG pom Poms were more desirable, but I was having NONE of it.
I mean, if I didn't buy her, who would?
I left there Totally HAPPY with my purchase.
A few months later we had a weasel attack ( 1st time ever )
The weasel ONLY killed the 2 BIG Poof Showgirls, but left "Mille" alone.
That was about 18 months ago, & she is the Sweetest little girl.
She may not be the Prettiest girl on the Outside, but Inside she is Perfect.
But Shnookie "SHOWGIRLS" are like Chocolates, except without the calories (*o*)
This year I picked up a HANDSOME, Stunner White SHOWGIRL rooster ( VALENTINO )
and then 2 weeks ago I bought a BLUE, sweet SHOWGIRL cockerel! ( BLACKULA )
I also have a "SEX the CHICK Challenge" on PTO
There is 3 Blue chicks shown, those are ALL from MILLIE my Showgirl.
I bred her to my Partridge Silkie Roo
So a BIG Thank you Shnookie for asking about Millie!
She makes me smile every day ~ nice to hear she makes You smile as well!
"VALENTINO"
"BLACKULA"
