Frizzle or Sizzle?????

[SunAngel]

Ok I think I am more confused now than before lol

I posted a similar question when my chicks hatched from my Frizzled Black Cochin Roo and Silkie Hens. I got some hard curly Frizzles and some hard straight feathered chicks.

I was told that none of my chicks were Sizzles and that in order to get Sizzles, I needed to keep a Frizzled roo chick with black skin and perferably a flat comb and breed him back to my Silkie hens. Since both parents need to have the Silkie gene. Is this correct?

I lucked out and got just such a chick, so I am hoping for some Sizzles in the Spring.

If you are looking to get really nice quility, then you want to breed a frizzled silkie with a silkie, you will get 50/50, or about that.
both frizzled silkie and silkie should have dark skin all around body,( head, toes, legs ect.)
toes should have 5 toes on each foot. and walnut combs.

Or option 2, if you ended up with a frizzle cochin x silkie, take that one and breed it with a pure great quility silkie.
the babys will be maybe some look like the cochin side but you may get lucky and come out with the silkie traits with the frizzling.

I had a question a month of so ago and got wonderful information, I'll try and find the thread later and post a link to it.

OK! No Frizzle - Frizzle Breeding! I have a beautiful Red Cochin Bantam Frizzle Rooster! What should I breed him to - to get the best frizzles?

I am also getting a White Cochin Bantam Frizzle hen - what should I breed her to?

I would breed the roo to a red smooth cochin, and the white to a white smooth cochin

Frizzle is recognised for EVERY BREED by both the APA and ABA.

INCORRECT. Sizzled do NOT have silkie feathering--that would simply be a frizzled silkie. A sizzle has frizzled NON-silkie feathers. All other traits, however match the silkie standard.

This is a sizzle:

edited to add, the earlobes are actually blue, colour is off in the photo; the wattles are redder than I prefer
