You have to breed frizzles to straight feathered birds, so the chicks will be like 50 50

Ok thank you, I’m just curious on what bird the frizzle was bred to. Will this rooster carry the frizzle gene and give us frizzled offspring despite being straight feathered?

Thanks

I'd love a blue one day! So cute!

Thanks so much she’s a sweetheart and would definitely recommend the breed!

It was probably just another Cochin

If I remember right, it's one allel for frizzle, so no, you would need a frizzle for more frizzles

Darn that’s a bummer.

I was wondering if I could breed my blue Cochin pullet (when she gets bigger of course) to my friends sizzle (silkie and frizzle mix). And if so how old before I can breed her? Also does anyone know what the babies would look like?

Can someone please post a picture of a sizzle? I️ have no clue what a sizzle would look like.

I wouldn't collect hatching eggs for a month after she starts laying. You can possibly get Frizzled, but I think silkied need 2 alleles to be expressed

Thanks frizzle aren’t my favorite breed so that’s ok. Do you know if the chicks would look at all like my blue Cochin?

The chicks will most likely just look like a mix of the two breeds.
