CHICKEN SWAPS OF NH SWAP LISTINGS

[Snakedoc]

So, I must be hard headed. Are you telling me they are frizzes? They are very soft and their hair, feather's curl back.

What Hoppy was saying is that yours are frizzled Silkies. AFAIK, the "frizzle" curl to the feathering is controlled by one gene. Any bird that gets that gene can be a "frizzle" -- frizzle is a trait, not a breed (like "bearded"). Most frizzles that you see are frizzled Cochins, but any breed can be a frizzle. Hence, frizzled Silkies

"Sizzles," I believe, are a new, establishing breed that is a blend of frizzled Cochins and Silkies, but is distinct from either breed. I knew that they have to have the frizzle feathering and black skin like a Silkie, but I didn't realize they're supposed to have smooth frizzle feathering and not fluffy Silkie frizzle feathering. What Hoppy is saying is that, if they have silkie feathers that are frizzled, that makes them a frizzled Silkie and not a Sizzle.

.... Got to love the names, right?

... I'll try to get some decent pictures of my girl up soon -- I *think* she qualifies as a real "Sizzle," though I bought her as a "cute chicken."

There was a swap last Sat. and only 1 person came, so I heard. This was the first Northern Swap and nobody came! Do they want things to happen up here, they have to support them! I do hope they have it again next yr.
I would of been there but I had a man from Salem NH come up to me w/ these girl/guys! Sizzles! So how could I say, could you come arnd 4pm for me! It's a 4+ hr ride for him!

your birds are beautiful. what a find.
I used to belong to a sizzle club. Sizzles are not a recognized-showable breed yet.
this is how my club described the different types. hope this helps.
sizzle-hard curled feathers- child of a silkie and a cochin
smooth sizzle-child of a silkie and a cochin that does not have curled feathers.
you breed a smooth to a curled to try to perfect the breed.

from this second generation breeding you can get some birds that have silkie feathers.
my group call the ones with curled silkie feathers-frilkies(frizzled silkies)
these are not what the sizzle breeders are going for but as you can see they are quite breathtaking.

I guess I don't get it. He said I could not breed the black one w/ the girl cuz both have feathers that curl backwards. The taller/slender one is a silkie, that I know.

I'm confused. I did go to chickenswapsofnh.com and do not see any changes in the rules there. In fact it looks like it has not been updated in a while as the rule that chicks under 4 weeks old must be sold in lots of 12 is still there. Are there no changes being made?

The 2 with feathers that are curled carry the frizzle gene. you can not breed frizzles to each other. if you did the chicks would get one frizzle gene from each parent. the chicks would look like a person who has an over processed perm. the feathers would be brittle and snap off at the base. this is super painful for the chicks and the condition would last for life.
