Hi!

So Tim - does that mean the smooth-looking birds from a frizzle cross can actually throw more frizzles? That's what people seem to say, but I never really believed it.

In my limited experience here, smooth birds from a frizzle cross cannot throw frizzled chicks UNLESS mated with an obviously frizzled bird.

If you want smooth chicks, mate them with a smooth bird. If you want frizzled chicks, mate them with a frizzled bird.

PulletPimp, I don't know. The only way I can imagine to tell for sure is to mate it and see if you get more frizzles.

ok thanks.
So ours can only throw frizzle if mated with frizzle.
Thanks!
