I just hatched my first Frizzle chick, out of 2 eggs, and noticed he has 4 toes. Do they usually have 4 toes? I expected a Silkie with frizzles and 5 toes, lol. All I know is it's a Bantam Frizzle.

A Frizzle is just a name for the feathering, not the breed. Many different breeds come in frizzle variety, and most of them have 4 toes. A Sizzle is a frizzled silkie, and that would(should) have 5 toes.( I have 2 silkies with only 4 toes)
Check out this post that shows quite a few frizzles ( including mine!!)

Found out from the lady I got the eggs from that it's a Cochin, cool! I love Cochins! She says I could also get a Turken, one more egg left to find out!

I'm trading off some Silkies for some more Frizzle Cochins, so that's perfect!

Thanks for the link! They sure are cool
