What's the difference between frizzle, frazzle and sizzle?

Sorry I did mean frizzled. But aren't non-silkie feathers considered satin?

Do you mean smooth? We use smooth for non-frizzled, non-silkie feathers. I've never heard the term satin used to describe feather type.

I'm well educated now.. wish I could see the pic's of the difference, but I'm at work and they are blocked

Hello- i got some Polish eggs from a friend. I ended up with this tiny guy. His feathers don't look like the other frizzles. Is this a frizzle or a frazzle? He is healthy and his feathers don't seem brittle. He is almost 2 weeks old now. Thank you!
