This thread is very informative. I have a tiny Frizzle roo, and and I did not know not to let him breed with my Frizzle hen. Well, I guess it will be interesting....I've got eggs in the 'bator

Very beautiful bird! I'd say it is a sizzle. I wouldn't worry about the double gene, doesn't look like she has it. BEAUTIFUL

I love frizzles...

The little one looks like a sizzle. Only a few breeds of chickens have black skin; it is a dominant trait. Sizzles are a breed under development that have all silkie features except for silkie feathering. The silkie feathering is replaced by frizzled feathering. The little sizzle is way to young to sex.

Frizzle is caused by the dominant gene F. If present, it will show.

However, there is a different gene that reduces frizzling: mf. mf is recessive. A homozygous dose acts to reduce the effect FF to approximately the amount displayed by Ff without the modifier. If instead the bird was Ff, the reduction is to approximately ff.

So a bird who is ff mfmf, ff MfMf or ff Mfmf will look similar to one who is Ff mfmf: unfrizzled.

A bird who is FF mfmf will look similar to one who is Ff MfMf or Ff Mfmf: the typical frizzle appearance.

A bird who is FF MfMf or FF Mfmf will have the look of a "curley."

OK, I read it a few times, and I think I kinda got it. LOL She (or he, whatever) has a single comb and only 4 toes, so the only Silkie trait she got was the black skin. Which is fine with me, I think she's adorable.

Here's another pic of her, cause I think her curly butt is cute...LOL. We're still working on painting the coop...we're adding flowers and butterflies and other "gardeny" things...

You are totally warped and I love it.

But I'm about to take the dignity of the PR and BR on a walk on the wild side and when these grow up - frizzle some rocks.
