I have a Polish Rooster who is a Frizzle. Can I let him run with his 3 Sibling sisters plus another little polish hen. Two of the females are frizzled and two are not, but the one smooth is his sister. I am new to this Frizzle stuff, but don't want to screw it up. I would like to raise little frizzles along the way.

Frizzle x Frizzle is a no-go, their feathers will not fare well. I had a rescue hen who was frizzlexfrizzle and she was nearly bald. FrizzlexSmooth is good, but I would not put him with his sister. I am not sure if other people have had success with that, so don't take my word for it and see if someone else weighs in.
Very beautiful birds! I searched far and wide for frizzles back when I raised Polish and never found any. They're stunning!
 
If you want to breed frizzles, then you can't keep two frizzles together. If both parents are frizzles, then some of the babies will be frazzles which is not good. Frazzles often have a lot of health issues, and they don't live as long as other chickens. Also, their feathers are very brittle and break easily, so the chicken would be mostly bald throughout its life.
