1 + 1 = Sizzle

[chickencrazylady]

Hi, I have a white Silkie Roo and 2 frizzle hens, Lil' Friz is gray and Flighty Whitey is white, Do I have this right???? When these 3 get together and I hatch out chicks, they will be Sizzle chicks????

Yes

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.
