Member of American Silkie Bantam Club!post #18453 of 350805/11/12 at 11:45amDo any of you know anything about frizzles? I think mine is a cochin and silkie mixed together, not really sure if thats how they make them.

Anyways, I'm showing my frizzle at a fair in a couple of weeks and was wondering if anyone new if she looked show quality or not.
Sorry if this is too off topic. I'm pretty sure she is part silkie, though.

Quote:Me either.

Cindy was selling him as porcelain, but Chloe was also sold to me as porcelain (which she isn't...).
So I just bought him based on looks, lol. I think he would work nice with Chloe, who is now said to be self blue partridge.

I don't see any Silkie influence there.... How many toes does he have?
