I know someone in the Sacramento area that I got my smooth sizzle from if you are ever out this way. Mine is smooth but she does frizzled feathers as well. Also, as Sonoran pointed out...silkied and frizzled seramas aren't hard to find. I saw hatching eggs for them on eBay just yesterday.

My Smooth Sizzle:

4hchickmama!!!! Your Sizzle is amazing!!!! Wow!!! I'll definitely keep that in mind the next time we're up that way!!!

I have changed enough diapers to last a lifetime...the last thing I want to do is change chicken diapers

That being said, my serama rooster doesn't go to the bathroom when out. He has been used for many different things, alarm clock, mantle piece and garden statue :) He just loves being with us....and, he loves his women :)
