Hen feather male frizzles???

[Bunney1990]

I'm breeding frizzles bantams for show. And I have a question.
Why do my 2nd generation males have hen feather, is this a genetic in frizzles or a fault in the breeding?

Could you share a picture? I don't think you can see male feathering on a frizzle, at least I can't on mine, though now I need to go look at mine.

All my boys are sporting girl color both my straight n curly frizzle, but their dads did not. The dads were either dad to daughter or brother to sister, and both dad n son had boy color n feather. These boys have girl color n feathers but are clearly lil boys..... I'm not sure what's happened n if this is part of the frizzles genetic make up???

Not that I'm aware of. What coloring? Things like partridge are different in male to female. Often young birds don't feather out correctly initially as they go through multiple molts as they grow and they can change as they mature.
