Frizzle question..

[hd_darcy]

I am in love with the frizzles! My understanding though is you don't want a hen and a roo together that are both frizzles? So, if I were to order some frizzle chicks, after I found out the sex of them, I'd just get rid of the roos? Or keep them separate (which I don't think will happen)?

Also, is there a breed that turns out better frizzled than another?? It sounds like I can order them, but the woman I spoke with didn't know what kind they were other than "frizzle".

Thanks in advance!

I want frizzles, too! Where are you getting them?

Yes, you definitely want to separate the males and females. A double dose of frizzle will cause frazzle (which will cause brittle feathers).

Our somewhat local feed store

I love this place! I also got my silkies from there... I am becoming addicted FAST..UGH!

A silkie with a fizzled cochin will get you a flock of muppets. I highly reccomend it!

My sizzle, Dozer.

Pozzles are funny looking too....

Did you get them as eggs?

Love them! Did you buy as eggs or chicks? Were they shipped to you?

I got them as 6 week old birds but I live in New England and so does SHAY20. I believe she sells hatching eggs.
