hi guys.. me again.. with more questions... lol...
after reading more and looking closer, i think my poor little frizzle has the brittle feathers.. she's got a lot of them broken off at the shaft.. i'll see if i can get pictures later.. she's also just not as full as she should be... i think she might be one that came from 2 frizzled parents...
question is this... is it safe to breed her with a regular cochin roo??
when this happens there's nothing wrong with their health right?? she behaves just like her sisters.. and seems to be fine...
assuming healthwise she's fine to breed, will she have the same chance of having frizzled chicks as a 1 genes frizzle?? or will her chicks have the brittle feathers too??
my s-i-l wants some frizzles now that my mom showed her what they are and i would love to be able to send her some eggs later down the road... but i wnt to make sure it's going to be okay for both dopey and her chicks... if it's not safe i'll find a way to keep her away from the roos...
oohh dear.... what kind of mess will i have when my little mf d'uccle guy breeds with her??
maybe i should go ahead and split off the d'uccle pair.. lol...
