Do I have a frazzle?

[McGill]

These bantam cochins came from Atwoods who uses Ideal and Hoover's. It's it possible they sometimes breed frazzles?

One of these has pretty soft feathers, the other has some more brittle feeling feathers and a few sparse spots, but I wouldn't say bald.

I've never had frizzle or frazzles. It does look like they could potentially be frazzles, I'm very inexperienced. @JacinLarkwell @RoostersAreAwesome @Amer @JedJackson

Those look likely. When they're teenagers, you can start feeling a crispness in frazzled feathers, while frizzled remain nice and soft

 

[JedJackson]

Yes, wait a bit as @JacinLarkwell has stated. I think they're likely frazzles but it's a close call and you should be able to tell later by brittleness of the feathers.

What about froozles?

What about froozles?

Frazzles are chickens with two copies of the frizzle gene, which makes feathers curl away from a chicken's body. Regular frizzles have one copy of the frizzle gene and the frizzling is less extreme.

Good to know. I was trying to be funny, though. I have a warped sense of humour.

Oh, didn't even notice the mispelling. Froozles are maybe frizzle roosters? I dunno.

When it's cold you get freezles.
