Wow! I had no idea there was such a thing as "Sizzles" until now! They're really pretty birds!

This one is a boy. He is already crowing. Sounds like a broken squiky toy:

Not sure on the sex of this one,but looks the same in feathering:

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. I really dont know much about the breeding on sizzles.

These are some of my favorites! I like that they appear to be Silkie except for the whisps in their feathers...

A Sizzle is a cross between a Silkie and a Frizzled Cochin

Frizzle is a type of feathering a bird can have.

Need more chickens!

Frizzled cochins have yellow skin, orange eyes, four toes on each foot, and straight combs. Sizzles have black skin, blue ear lobes, black eyes, five toes on each foot, and walnut combs.

I have 18 chickens, one kitten, 3 dogs, 2 hermit crabs, and live on 20 acres in the country. I am CrAzY about chickens and plan on getting more! I am continually working to better my chicken practices and to better my flocks.
