I HAVE FRIZZLED SILKIES! now if I just understood the different types

[AHappychick]

Ok after a bunch of tries going way back to last Christmas I have been trying for a frizzled chook. I then decided I wanted a frizzle silkie. Finally Kelly came to my rescue and I got a bunch of eggs. Well I hatched out 3 blue frizzled silkies! and I am elated.

now Kelly calles them frizzled silkies which is cool but could someone define what a

Sizzle, Frizzle, and Frazzle are?

is there another shorter term for Frizzled Silkie and if so wouldnt it be a sizzle?

pics in a few I am charging the camera now

BTW long term goal is Frizzled Lavender Silkies

I too am constantly confused by these terms. Just when i think I 'get it', I dont.

Let's see if I am right...
A sizzle is a silkie x frizzle bird
A frizzle is any bird with frizzle feathering
and a frazzle(or curly) is a frizzle x frizzle mating

?

so the sizzle has silkie feathers but they are frizzled? or are they silkies with frizzling but with regular feathers and not silkie shreaded ones?

Camelot Farms - Beautiful!! I think I need at least one of these. Love your website and you take excellent pictures!!

ok here they are in all their glory

One even has a vaulted scull. I had to hatch this one myself because it had pipped the wrong end and was stuck. Some how it messed up its upper eyelid but I have been treating it and it seems to be improving.
