Frizzle thread

[Pinkaboo]

Hi everyone I am a first time Frizzle mum and I cannot believe what a cutie my little LuLu is. She is 5 months old and so cheeky and full of personality. Does anyone else's Frizzle pull their head into their feathers (like a turtle) before running or when playing with their buddies? She does this all the time and it is so cute/funny

She's beautiful

What is the difference between a frizzle and a sizzle? Thanks, Sylvia

A sizzle is a frizzled Cochin/Silkie cross

 

[Sylviaanne]

Is a frizzle always a Cochin? Sylvia

 

[howfunkyisurchicken]

Nope, any breed can be frizzled.

And a Sizzle isn't just a Silkie/Cochin cross. Its a bird bred to the Silkie standard, with normal barbed feathers (not shredded like a regular Silkie, a frizzled Silkie would have shredded frizzled feathers). There's alot more to making Sizzles than throwing a frizzled Cochin and a Silkie together

I love this site!! I learn so much. I have 10 week silkies and Cochin frizzles. I really thought I could "make sizzles". Just goes to prove how much misinformation out there.
