Frizzle

Frizzles are pretty great chickens and have almost no faults! But the thing is with their feathers curling upward it doesn't seal the heat in, so they can get cold very easily. Also when it rains or snows they have to be sheltered because the rain or snow gets stuck in their feathers. Same when its hot the sun can get to their skin. But they are still my favorite chicken, and always will be!

I am thinking that frizzles are a trait that nay chicken breed can inherit if bred to a bird with the frizzle gene. In other words they are not a breed but a characteristic. It is interesting to hear about the results of the curled feathers. I would never have thought of it on my own.
Well if you have a flat feathered frizzle that carries the gene about 25% of the chicks will be frizzled.
