    Well...maybe. It really depends on the traits each parent has, as well as those that are lacking. Ideallly, a sizzle will be a recognised variety, pure for polydactyly, crest, and presence or absence of muffs/beard, pure for not-silkied. Should carry one copy of frizzle, which means that about half the offspring will NOT be frizzled, but will be appropriate for breeding. WIth the current question, about 50% will not inherit frizzle, and all will be het, not pure, for non-silkied.
