Frizzle breeding question.

[ChucktheChick]

I have a question on breeding frizzles. If you breed two together, will a frizzle be the offspring? Can anyone give me info on their genes? Thanks!

As far as I know (it is possible I'm wrong), if you breed two frizzles together, you get the following: 50% frizzled offspring, 25% smooth/normal offspring, and 25% "curlies". Curlies are excessively frizzled, and tend to have very sparse, brittle feathers. Because of the likelihood of getting curlies, it is not recommended to breed two frizzles together.

Ahh. Thanks! As brittle, do you mean they break off?

Yes. Curlies often have so many feathers break off that they are almost naked.
