We have several frizzled cochins that are 5 weeks old and they are going bald. We ordered them from Mcmurry not realizing they breed frizzle to frizzle. If I would have known that I would not have ordered them. Some are very bald, some are only half bald. My question is will this get better. Should I separate them from the others or is this as good as it will ever be and culling is the only answer.
