Cochin Bantams and Frizzle Cochin Bantams!!

Pics
From what I understand SIZZLE also have a frizzle and smooth.....so my guess would be NO do not breed sizzle to frizzle as they both would have the frizzle gene. The person you would need to ask is Sherri Minkner here in California.She has been breeding sizzles for many many years.Some of her birds are now 12 generation sizzle
I've never bred Sizzles before, but like she said since it also carries the frizzle gene, I wouldn't breed them together. It sounds like Ms. Sherri would be a great source to get Sizzle information from

Oh my goodness, poor bird. I had a talk to one of the chicken/duck breeders from my area, and I have mention that I have bantams frizzle cochin, so he suggested for me to breed them. I had a hard time explaining to him that you should NEVER breed frizzle with frizzle or else you will end up with who knows what. I don't think I have convinced him.
Show him the picture of that poor bird, maybe he'll be convinced then haha

Looks like the frizzle is waiting to ninja the one in front of it haha and the Roo looks like it could be a Silkie/Cochin cross since it doesn't appear to have the Silkie feathers. He's a cutie!
Hello! I have 1 black frizzle hen named (very originally) Friz
.
(She is hiding behind the tree)
I am setting some of her eggs. This is the rooster:

His name is Sampson! I am not sure if he is a Silkie Cochin cross or just a non-crested Silkie. What do you guys think? Either way, I am excited to see what the chicks will look like! I set some eggs from Game Bird hens fertilized by him as well. They turn out super cute

Also, I was wondering: Do any of y'all sell your fertile frizzle and/or Cochin eggs? I would like to hatch some. I would like to have more Cochin and Frizzle bantams but I am loathe to buy chicks from an unknown source. I have Old English Bantam eggs I could trade if you would like to get into another adorable and sweet bantam breed. This is what they look like

Here's my Lil' Frizzle man. I went looking for pullets and they only had this little guy looking sickly and I felt bad for him so I grab him. I was not told she was a he

but oh well.

1st picture is him a few weeks old and 2nd picture is when we thought he was ready to settle in the coop. I'm sure his another badly bred rooster but his feathers are still growing and I think his still beautiful. I don't have a clue on what breed he might be but he is a midget for sure. My chickens are almost twice his size but he still acts like the king of the jungle.

He's a cutie!
 
I wonder how soon can you tell if you have a rooster or pullet?
I can normally start to tell on my Cochins when they start feathering out and also someone had mentioned before that in the Cochins the males feather out slower than the females so I started paying attention to mine when they started feathering out and it seems to be true.
 
Now that my chicks are 1 month old, can you help me to sex them, the white one I think is a pullet and the red looks like a rooster, correct me if I am wrong.











Look at this picture, it looks to me that wattles are coming and turning red. Also comb is getting redish at the base.










And two of them together. White chick looks bigger and fills bigger as well, but I still think it pullet.
