Pros: Relatively quiet, nice to other chickens, fun for something different.
Cons: Skittish around me, may be more sensitive to sun and cold due to curled feathers that bear the skin on some.

I have a little white Cochin Bantam Frizzle and she has been so scared of me since I got her at a 10 days old. She certainly is cute to look at. I wish she'd let me scoop her up and pet her but she is frightened! She gets along with other chickens but she is at the bottom of the pecking order probably due to her strange feathers.

Cons: Some are kind of nasty
Cons: Some are kind of nasty
I have had a few males, they were all a bit nasty when they were young but Spike calmed down as he grew up and then he was killed by the mink when my 12 banties were killed
I would have them again.
Article: Frizzle
Breed Details: Kept mostly for their ornamental value, frizzles actually makes good multi purpose chickens with the cockerels reaching 7 lb in and hens are reliable layers. The frizzling are the result of a dominant autosomal gene, mating frizzle to frizzle is not a good idea as you'll end up with 25% frazzle, a condition caused by the presence of 2 dose of F in one bird. These birds will have highly frizzled brittle feathers which results in porcupine feathered condition (only the shaft of the feather left) by summer. Facts.... since frizzling is caused by a dominant gene, if you don't see the effect on a bird, the bird does not have/ carrying frizzle gene in them (unless by a very small and rare chance it is also homozygous for frizzle modifier mf). |
