Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

[CB and CG]

Well, I have just gone through all this Frizzle Business.lol.
My 'Frizzles' are NOT recognized as Frizzles in Australia.
In Aus, we follow the UK standard, were Pekins and Polish Frizzles are an actual breed, standard and all.
My "Frizzled Leghorns" are just crosses. They of course have the Frizzle gene but I can't sell them as 'real' Frizzles here in Australia.
Over in the US any breed can be sold as a Frizzle as long as it has the gene of course.

But if you just want birds with the Frizzle gene then yes we can swap lines .

Hi Luke, I think you are still a little misinformed.
Pekin Frizzles and Polish Frizzles are still not Frizzles. They also are a crossbreed. Frizzles have there own standard in Australia that is very different to a Pekin or a Polish. Frizzles are not meant to have feathered feet like a Pekin and they are not meant to have a crest like a Polish.
Even the weights for a purebred frizzle is very different amongst many other differences.

Large
Male: 3.2 - 3.6kg
Female: 2.25 - 2.7kg
Bantam
Male: 960 - 1070g
Female: 790 - 910g

I know you are aware that your birds are not purebred but I would like to say that they are beautiful. Polish Frizzles and Pekin Frizzles are also very beautiful however they are not purebred either. Just thought I would clarify this. Not meaning to offend just thought I would share some knowledge.
This link shows some nice examples of purebred Frizzles along with lots of information about them. Hope this helps. http://forum.backyardpoultry.com/viewtopic.php?t=7958906

Just wanted to share this one of my proud mumma Cilla and her bubbies

Lovely picture.

Quote: Yeah I know, I wasn't sure what the actual standard was as I have never read it.
I know you can get frizzled Polishes ( crest etc ) and Frizzled Pekins ( feathered feet ) and they are obviously separate from pure bred Frizzles ( as you have now informed me ). I will check out those purebred Frizzles.

I got all confused because ( as I have said it many times now.lol. ) in the US Frizzled anythings are accepted as Frizzles. Unlike here in Aus and in the UK they don't have Frizzles as a breed.

Thank you

@Bens-Hens I have seen those sorts of Frizzles before and I honestly don't like them all that much. I don't like how rounded they are, or the straight combs.
That Frazzle is well ugly as well hahah ( no offense if you like them ).

Well I think people are happy enough to buy my "Frizzle gened birds". Can I sell them as that? Of course I will specify them as not 'real' frizzles, just that they have got the gene.
Most people just want the look

Ahhh Lukas...that will teach me to not get too excited and read your whole post carefully! For some reason I thought you had LOTS of eggs! I will still do some research, and when I get it together maybe you or someone ese might have some fertile eggy surprises next term. Have fun, Sydney and Rexy...lots of pics please!! 

When you are organised I would be happy to send you some eggs. Mainly marans, but some crosses too if you want.

@Cluckcluckluke My family & I will be driving back home to QLD from Sydney on Sun 27/Mon 28 April thru Coffs Harbour, if you want me to pick up the eggs for @Rexy on our way thru? (If you think that would be safer than posting them.... And if she can wait that long for them! ).. Rexy lives just down the road (so to speak) from me

What a lovely offer, thank you so much.

 

[cluckcluckluke]

@SydneyChickens Can you please tell me if you do want these eggs or not???

The first of your eggs has been laid today

. Go Frizzle!!!



@rexy and @SydneyChickens how do you like you eggs??? hahah. I mean how do you want me to store your eggs?
I know lots of people do it many different ways and I am happy to do it your ways.

 

[SydneyChickens]

Heya!

Sorry soooo rude! I'm outta town and only got internet in my room.. If Rexy wants a full dozen then go for it! I wouldn't be able to keep the chooks after I get them to 8 weeks healthily, I'd have to re-home so Rexy if you want to keep them then you're welcome to em.. I'm just happy to do the test for Luke

Either way let me know! As mentioned I'm outta town for work for a bit and will have to get to a bank which wont be until mid week.. So send off Rexy's first if you like..

hi aussie,
I thought I'd have a crack at sell some roosters on this tread, cos I have a hard time trying to sell of the 'buy, swap, sell' part of BYC.
anyways, so i have two rooster to sell, both fully matured, their mother died when they were about 2 1/2 weeks old and i looked after them until they were old enough to go out with my other chooks, so they are both fairly tame. i'll sell them for the best offer, and i don't care if they go to separate homes.

the first one is a Silkie X Rhode Island Red:







and the second one is a Silkies X White leghorn (sorry i don't have a very good picture of him):




PM me if your interested!

thanks

And this is my other one

Hmmm. Good luck trying to get rid of cross bred roosters.
I have dozens of beautiful pure bred roosters and I can't give them away!
