This is my Little Orphan Annie. She was abandoned by her mother hen along with her sibs when they were all just hatched. I found her still alive but sadly all the others died, She is a cochin X faverolle frizzle. When she waddles around looking for goodies she looks like a little ball of...

I have a little frizzle gal who pants most of the time when she is sitting on me or out in the sun. She gets overheated really easily however she is a cochin/faverolle frizzle so that might be why she doesnt seem to have any problem with cold.

Bantam size can work with large fowl but I think it is best if they are raised together. You might have to keep her with you. She will love you for saving her from that horrible sounding life. You can try her out with your existing flock but Id keep a close eye on her. Poor thing doesnt need...

Frizzles are so hard to tell the sex of. I was sure Chickie (in my avitar) was a female for the longest time. He just looked way too cute with those curly feathers. He even started crowing when I got him a male companion who was crowing and I still thought, no way, "she" just doesnt want that...

Check for comb development. Id think if you have more than one you could do a comparison. Aggression generally indicates male in my flock's babies.

You have to wait until babies are about a week old or until you start seeing wing feathers. The frizzle babies will have feathers that curl up. In lightly frizzlers it is hard to tell as their wing feathers appear straight. Here are some examples: See how the wings turn up a bit in the...

Thank you. I should have called them the muttley crew as there is not a pure bred among them but boy are they interesting. Every hatch is such a surprise. Regarding the flax seed pillows, I use cotton as it works best in the microwave. Avoid plastic type cloths. The meal worms I purchase...

Here are some of the members of my motley crew. Many are frizzles.

What I do is hold them and feel their feet. If their feet are very cold I make "pillows" filled with flax seed and microwave them and toss them on the ground where I know they like to sit. Sometimes I hold them and actually make them sit on the warming pillow so they see how nice it feels...

Oh she is so cute! Love the polish frizzle and they lacing too.

I agree, the frizzle feathers are so dressy looking. My first frizzle was a boy and he was so pretty in his black dress and white pettycoat that I swore he was a "she" for the longest time. I even refused to face the facts when he started crowing. But eventually I had to accept it and he...

He is great! I had one like him once. I just love the crested frizzle look.

She looks a lot like the rescue frizzle I took in. Im guessing a cochin. Does she have feathered feet?

I got some eggs from a friend and this one is a frizzle. She is going on two weeks old and is a bantam. She started out with a lot of red fuzz but her feathers are more brown than red.

Frizzled australorps? Mine looked like this: That is him as a baby in the avatar

Good luck to you on your frizzle chick being a girl. The guy in my avatar was thought to be a girl for the longest. Everyone was sure he was a she since he looked like he had a dress with a white petticoat on. He was the best rooster ever. He was every bit as faithful to me as any dog.

Oh a white frizzle roo! How wonderful. I had one that died before reproducing. He was a beauty....I called him Snowy.

Faverolles have a fifth toe. Now about Frizzles, it depends on what breed the frizzle gene shows itself. I have frizzled faverolles with fifth toes and frizzled cochins without. I dont think the frizzle gene has anything to do with how many toes...it is the breed that determines that. Others...

They are delightful. That little gray one is so pretty.

Check the foot size and girth of the leg. Chickie at about that age I was convince, even once he started crowing, that this little one was a girl. I think it is very hard to distinguish sex in frizzles. Their saddle feathers are disguised in all that curl.
