Pros: Cute
Cons: feather issues
Cons: feather issues
I bought them from a hatchery and I should have known better They are over frizzled which is caused by breeding a frizzle to a frizzle. The result is over frizzled which causes brittle feathers and feather loss. If you want these cute little things, make sure you buy them from a reputable breeder and not a hatchery, and make sure you ask if both mom and pop were frizzled.

Cons: Be careful breeding......
Cons: Be careful breeding......
I have frizzle in both bantam Polish and bantam Cochin. Of course the Cochins are just darling, with very sweet personalities. I love the feelings of their curly feathers....They're so soft.
The Polish frizzle is beautiful, but very high strung, as the Polish breed can be....
This is a black mottled Cochin bantam with the frizzle genetics
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). |
