Cochin Bantams and Frizzle Cochin Bantams!!

[spazy67]

So here's what I have so far from 6 eggs.... 3 boys (I think - it appears they have white head dots) and 2 girls, one black, one blue. One egg still in the bator, pipped on the wrong end. Giving it a few more hours to hatch on its own before I intervene (if I do) the 3 fellas: biggest boy, he's a sweetie! blue girl (?) looks just like her daddy did as a baby star gazer girl. hoping some nutridrench fixes her up!

I can't get enough of these little guys you have your hands full so sweet.

What is the difference with feathers on frizzle some pictures I see look to be thicker with rounded ends some look thin like string and then the ones that I assume are sizzle have silkie looking fuzzy feathers. Is there a name for the type of feathers

Hello All. I have 2 Self blue roos, 1 Blue hen, and 1 Mottled hen. I have to say, Cochins are some of my favorite birds!

How did you wash your white frizzle......

I don't know about how they do it, but I put mine in the sink, warm water, and dog shampoo.

frizzles curl, sizzles curl and are the same as frizzles but are a silkie mix. You should never breed two bird together that both have curly feathers. A portion of their offspring will have very brittle feathers that break easily and fall apart. Frizzles or sizzles should always be bred to smooth feathered birds.


No frizzles but LF and Bantam cochin babies being adorable.

Ok if my little tiney fizzle is a roo can he repaduce. I ultimately wanted two hens a frizzle and a silkie but I am afraid I ended up with two roos. I really want to keep spazzy my fizzle. My question is what if anything can I maybe pair spazzy with? I know not anouther fizzle a big no no.

Any smooth feathers bird is fine. You will have a chance for a portion of the offspring to be frizzled.

How did you get the feathers dry? I want to wash mine and also heard you should put white vinegar in the water to make their feathers extra shiny.
