Question? Do all frizzles( silkies , sizzels) have five toes on each foot and blue skin? And also, is it at possible to get a frizzle chick from two smooth chickens, with not trace Of the frizzle gene? My understanding is no.

No; frizzle can occur (and is recognized) in ALL breeds by both APA and ABA. Birds must meet breed standards, which for all but 5 breeds are 4 toes. Frizzled silkies and sizzles should have 5 toes per THEIR breed standard.

In general, a non-frizzled bird does not possess the frizzled gene as it is dominant, and will show. HOWEVER, there is a frizzle modifier gene that is recessive and UNFRIZZLES the feathers. A heterozygous (one copy) frizzle with two copies of the modifier gene will appear non-frizzled, and can (50% chance) pass the frizzle gene to its offspring. It will also pass a copy of the modifier gene.

Thanks for the information, the frizzle gene can be confusing!
