frizzle gene question

[key west chick]

I have a frizzled NN rooster. He is in a pen with a bunch of mixed breed, non frizzled hens. What percentage, if any, will his offspring be frizzled?

 

[Sonoran Silkies]

half or all, depending on whether he has one or two copies of the gene

Ok, cool. As long as some will be frizzled Im happy with it. Thanks.

I Agree, my first thought was 50%, but if he is homozygous for frizzle, then they all will be. I have frizzles and it is recommended that you always breed a frizzle to a smooth, so the frizzles are just enough and not too much. If you breed frizzle to frizzle, you get double frizzle and your bird won't have enough good feathers. I have a hen who is a little balding, like an old lady with male pattern baldness.
