Little bundles of frizzly love!

Pros: So cute, docile, will let you hold them, make great therapy chickens

Cons: Not great layers, but the pros overpower that one con!

I absolutely adore my 6 Bantam Frizzled Cochin hens. They are so cut, and all they make you want to do is hug them! They make great therapy chickens, better than any other breed. I come from a family of disabled and troubled children. These birds have helped my siblings with their problems and have done an outstanding job. They are not that great of a layer, but in a flock of 44 that's not a problem for us. I highly recommend these birds!!

Frizzle perfect childs pet

By Cane Toad

Pros: fluffy, friendly

Cons: small eggs

Who could say no to a cute little fluffy thing that goes cluck cluck?   I think that frizzles make great pets. My few are so friendly and very cute. They love a good pat, and have a range of different personality.   The only bad thing i would say about the frizzle is its smaller eggs.

Mean frizzle

Posted
By BackyardCountry

Pros: nice feathers

Cons: mean, aggressive, hard to catch, loud

My frizzle roo was so mean. We handled him very well from the start, but whn he grew from a chick into a cock, he started to become agressive to our 5 hens and he would force them to stay under the coop at night (we had to go out every day to physically put them in). He wouldnt let us touch him without squabbling and squawking! do not reccommend this chicken :(

Only buy from rep. breeder

Pros: Cute

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.

Pros: Great personalities, curious, sweet, cute

Cons: Molting stranger then any other breed I've seen...

Adorable little chickens, I recently got an adolescent hen and she has a great personality, and it's really entertaining to watch her when I bring her inside, she's so curious and will try to eat everything! LOL.

Funny Rooster

Pros: makes great pets

Cons: can be rather noisy

We have one black rooster and he's nothing but a show off around the hens.  He is a great pet but loves crowing!

Pros: quie,t calm, friendly, good layers

Cons: looks ugly when molting (but thats ok :)! )

I've got one hen who had a couple of frizzle babies. The babies didn't make it though. My hen Carrie is lovely and very good tempered. She was the first of my flock to lay an egg.

Nice little unique looking chicken.

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.
