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

[roosty]

I personally have not bred frizzle to frizzle. ( I do breed frizzles but I only have frizzle roos and smooth hens) but I am going by several sources( litature and a few people Ive spoke with that have bred frizzle to frizzle) and have not got curlies. Im not saying I know exactly about it nor am I an expert by any means but on the research Ive done people have bred frizzle to frizzle and not got curlies.

The first time, not the repeat

I think I decipher what roosty posts meant....

You mixed up Frizzle gene which is an autosomal dominant and the modifier mf which reduce the effect of F...

the presence of mf,mf in F,F will make the bird's phenotype to be frizzle instead of frazzle.... hence people kept breeding in the same line of bird so they don't loose the mf genes by outcrossing.

We raise frizzles, when you get a frizzle cross with frizzle you can end up with bare spots. We have found it really depends on how many generations of frizzle to frizzle you do. Remember you can have a straight feather with frizzle gene. Thats the recomended way. Straight with gene to frizzle feather.

Ok...my brain is starting to fizzle....

I have a question....frizzles and sizzles I pretty much get but...What's a frazzle? I only have a mixed silkie/oldenglish/bantam....(he's not that pretty) I got him that way...wasn't something I did....(just to clear that up!! lol) Anyways, I tried to read all of the posts but it wasn't clear to me what a frazzle was.
Can anyone tell me? Thanks!

frazzle is overly frizzled, when a bird carries 2 dominant frizzle gene, one of the possibility of mating frizzle to frizzle....

Like this fellow, that's his summer look, the feather is that brittle that they break, this boy is an F2, the F1 x F1 was brother to sister mating off originally frizzle bantam x silkie.
We warn the owner not to let them run together...

koiman thank you for your information. I like to hear from people that have the birds and raise them.
