HOW do you get a Silkied Frizzled feathered bird??

[theron]

no. You need just a silkied serama and a frizzled serama. one has to be a rooster, the other a hen. So, when you breed the frizzled to the silkied, some will come out frizzled and some smooth feathered. All of the chicks would then have half silkied in their genectics, but since it is recessive, it won't show on the first generation. You then would take all the frizzled pullets that you hatch and breed them back to the rooster, or if your silkied serama parent is a hen take one of the frizzled cockerals and pair him with his mother. The chicks that you would then hatch would include frizzled silkied, frizzled, and smooth. I hope that makes sense.

There are already silkied seramas, frizzled seramas and silkied frizzled seramas. To the best of my knowledge, neither of these wazs bred in from other breeds, but came from the gene mix of seramas.

Anyways, regardless of the origin, if your seramas are neither silkied nor frizzled, you will need to acquire first a silkied serama, and breed that to you non-silkied. Then breed the offspring back to the silkied parent, or to different silkied one that you acquire. About 50% of the 2nd generation will be silkied. Take those silkied birds and breed them to a frizzled serama that you acquire. About half the offspring will be both silkied and frizzled.

By breeding in the silkie feathering BEFORE you try to breed in frizzling, you can deliberately prevent breeding curly offspring; if you try to breed them both in at the same time, you will get a percentage of curlies.

When you say "curly", is that something different from "frizzle"?

A curly has two copies of the frizzle gene, causing overly frizzled, very brittle feathers.

Frizzle = F/f+
Curly = F/F​
