if you breed 2 frizzles together you have 25% frazzle or curly over frizzled birds, 25% SMOOTH and 50% frizzled. you would only be trading your 25% smooth for 25% frazzled offspring that would be special needs because of their easily damaged feathers. the frizzle gene should only effect the...

i'm not making any promises but looks like this chick has "girl" coloring! not a guarantee, but there is a good chance that its a pullet!! :)

HI littleRedCoop53 join sites like sizzle breeders chat, silkies for sale in the US, silkies sale. they are great starts in finding birds for sale. if your looking for a specific color verity, search for it! most likely there is a site already set up for the color. Cuckoo's, Gray's, Paint's...

pretty babies!! i wouldn't hesitate to use them for red pyle project. but not sure if i would take a chance in using them for paint. paint tends to have an issue with red/yellow brassy tones in their feathers and this might add to the problems to your line. it might take longer to breed that...

yeah i agree Facebook is a great way to find good eggs, chicks and adult birds :) and yup your on the right track!! i should cut back on my project and will in the future i'm sure but love my project its hard to say no more and even harder to cut projects.... lavender cuckoo is simply...

Thanks! but i can't take the credit for these cuties, i do have a mottled project started here. but these are from Aarron Hunsinger's mottled project. i was lucky enough to snag these up well before he is offering any for sale to the public. I think next fall he plan to be ready to offer pairs...

Thanks you that is very kind of you to say :) i started about 3-4 years again just hatching enough for myself started with cuckoo and blue silkie mixes (sizzles) and grow from there. added colors from there. LOVE looking up genetic tidd bits and figuring out how things work. and now i'm in the...

yup! exactly right :)

double checking the chart i for got one more line.... sizzle (smooth) + sizzle (smooth) = silkie, sizzle (smooth) no frizzles should come from this pairing. here are a couple of my new mottled silkie chicks, they are great examples of recessive genes. they are from jet black F1 sizzle...

nope! i meant sizzles :) the silkie feathering gene is recessive so sizzles all carry the genes for silkie feathering (barbless feathering) smooth or frizzle doesn't matter. so the two parents with recessive silkie feathering gene, will give you silkie offspring!! *although if your just...

Sorry for your loss :( i sadly learned that same lesson with mama hen and her chicks, she did a good job hatching them in the cold but it was just to cold for her to raise them. saved the rest of the clutch. but lost the two tiny chicks. she was a cutie too ;(

SIZZLE BREEDING..... frizzled Sizzle + Sizzle = silkies, frizzled silkies, sizzles, frizzled sizzles. Percentages of each will vary but should be about 1/4 each. frizzled Sizzle + Silkie = silkies, frizzled silkies, sizzles, frizzled sizzles. Percentages should favor silkie feathered birds...

if your chicks are frizzled then the frizzled sizzle is most likely the baby daddy. there IS a frizzled modifier gene out there no one knows how rare it is. but i wouldn't put any bets on the white silkie boy being the father. the frizzle modifier gene works be unfrizzleing the frizzles...

such a cutie :), we had a little discussion just recently on the Facebook sizzle group about lemon blues. i think maybe that would be the closest color match would be lemon blue, but not quite right. if she/he is crossed to porcelain you could breed back to porcelain and get a mix of porcelain...

no penciling it wouldn't be consider partridge (although he might be mixed from a partridge parent) he is a closer match for buff columbian (notice the black ruffle on the neck and darker tail) maybe blue buff columbian also way to light to be red. most will call him an off color buff. but whats...

partridge, the darker ones are more true looking partridge. the light one is wheaten based either off colored buff or very light partridge its hard to see from the picture.

LOVE!!!!!!

my guess from the picture is it looks blue columbian or coronation (self blue columbian). i know there has been lots of columbian looking birds pop up from self blue, lavender breeding. pretty boy :)

heres what info i pulled up while doing a bit of research on respiratory problems. i've also read wild birds eating near the coops can even infect them. its why no one really tests for it. Mycoplasma is present in 75% - 89% of ALL flocks, both commercial and private according to Dr. Scott...

because sizzles are unrecognized, you can only show in AOV or i think they call it NSV now. so you don't have to worry about what color is recognized in silkies or not. you just have to find a color that is recognizable to the judges, (i would show a mixed color bird) but if the have a color...
