[persimmongoat]

There's really nothing extra to do for them except keep them well fed and watered. If they're bald b/c of their poor feather quality they need to be kept out of the sun. Otherwise they just act like normal chickens and live their life.

I don't have any personal experience with Frazzles, but I know they've been discussed on here before. Try using the search button (I prefer the one embedded in the blue bar) and just type in Frazzle. I bet you'll find a lot of information.

Glad you joined us!

So glad I am finding this topic line. My frazzle, Avery, is so sweet and small and bald patched it just breaks my heart sometimes. I read early on before obtaining 3 Tractor supply Cochin Frizzles as much as I could about Frizzles, Frazzles, Sizzles and the whole conglomeration therein and the one item that keeps nagging at me is where they spoke of Frazzles having an enlarged liver. I'm not even sure how you would know short of a Veterinary diagnosis. Or God forbid a dead bird....fingers crossed I don't let Avery outside for too long in inclimate weather. I also have tried moisturizers on her brittle feathers without much success. Definitely will keep her out of the sun in good weather.
