Frizzle Question

[Little Ameraucana Mom]

I have a question. We have a course frizzled rooster, not like some of the softer looking frizzles I"ve seen on here. Are they suppose to be so course or could theres be a couple of generations. Not the best picture. I'm breeding him to cochins, do you think his offspring will have the softer look or be course like him.??

the look of a frizzle will depends on feather quality.

The expression look best on wide medium length feather, longer feather will look flat-ish and hard feather will look rough.

I think yours bred with cochin will give the desired type.

Great . We love him,he is the sweetest thing. Loves attention, but I'd like something softer. We were going to take him to a show last weekend, but the blue cochin rooster pulled out alot of his neck feathers so we didn't take him. They are separated now.

This girl's feather length and width is about what you'll aim fo r in a frizzle.....

Is that a silkie frizzle ?? Neat, I"ve got silkies in the incubator, might have to try that one.

 

[nzpouter]

White Frizzled Cochin Pullet 3+ months old

I ended up buying 30 frizzles from Ideal in red, white, and black. I grew them out to see what I had. You can tell cochins sex a lot quicker than other breeds, at least to me. I kept 2 white pullets, 1 black pullet, and 1 red pullet. I have a blue cochin rooster (still a little tyke) to breed to them.

I just think she is so pretty.

you DO NOT breed frizzle with frizzle.
