Do I have a Frizzle x Frizzle? (Updated Pic)

She does have black skin, but only 4 toes. I hadn't really thought of her being a sizzle already. I guess I need to make a phone call now that I know what questions to ask. I got her from an aquaintance...someone I only see once in a blue moon, but I do have her phone number.

the fifth toe doesn't always happen, but the black skin says silkie, or in this case sizzle. I did have one that only had 4 toes and a single comb but he had black skin.

Interesting! Thanks so much! I don't know much about chicken traits/genetics yet, but I'm learning. I wasn't sure about the black skin...other black chickens (like cochins) don't have black skin?

I did call but got voice mail, so hopefully she'll call me back and I can get some answers.

no, cochins don't have black skin

frizzles, frazzles and sizzles... oh my! I had no idea there were so many variations! I learn something new here every day.

It would be nice if someone would "break down" the difference(s) between sizzles and frizzled silkies. I'm confused on those two varieties.
