Frizzles or Frazzles

[stacyandskyler]

So, we purchased some quasi-mystery eggs at a chicken swap that were labeled “frizzles/sizzles.” 5 of our babies hatched. 4/5 are obviously frizzles, but they are very curly, which has me worried that they might be frazzles. They’re all black skinned, so I know they’ve all got at least a bit of silkie in them. We were just looking for some backyard pets, so I’m fine with chicken mutts, BUT I am worried that if they’re frazzled, they won’t survive our local weather. I’d love some input: what do you all think we have (they’re about 3 to 3 1/2 weeks in the photos).
Thanks in advance!

I think they look like frizzles also.
They’re adorable.

Woo hoo! Thanks for the input. I’m excited to see that the general consensus is healthy frizzle! We absolutely adore them (they’re too cute not to fall in love with), and it’s going to be hard enough getting rid of the roos (when they start crowing).

As for toes, all but one have 5 toes, and two of them have vaulted skulls. Each of them is distinct looking, which has been a part of the fun in hatching and watching them grow.

Thanks again!

Frizzles - they are so stinkin' cute, I can't stand it. Just be certain to NEVER breed a frizzle to another frizzle. One parent should have normal feathers
