Hi everyone, I'm new here and just discovered these beauties! I've always thought Cochin's were pretty but the standard ones are bigger than I really wanted in my flock so the bantams are perfect for me. The photos are what I am starting out with. I had a mille frizzle he that was killed by a fox so I am waiting on eggs to put in the incubator to hopefully replace her. I love seeing every ones photos and am always looking for more information.
 


Just found out that this is a frizzle. :-D Thanks to you good folks here on BYC!!!
I was wondering if/when she'll fly. All my others are flying 1.5-2 feet. The way I had to "build" their henhouse, they have to be able to fly a little to get out during the day and then back into it in the evenings; she's the only one who can't get out.

Frizzles can't fly. Their feathering is so broken that they get no lift. Mine can hop onto low perches and I ladder them so they can get up a little ways but avoid letting them get very high because if they try to fly down they hurt themselves because they can't break their fall with their wings.
