Well, they both hatched out of blue eggs from Papas Poultry and he said there was a possibility of a frizzle. The grey one 'Ebony' has grey/silver legs and fuzzy cheeks and a beard although you cant tell from the pic. 'Ivory' has creamy pink legs and no cheeks or beard. No comb forming on either yet although Ebony has quite a wide 'prefrontal' area between the nostrils. If that is indeed what that is called
Here are my two frizzles! Both enjoying fresh grass and dirt for breakfast, delicious I tell you!

I am no expert, but I would say that the one in the lower pic might be a roo, only because of the little spike that is beginning on the comb. But.... like I said I am no expert. I have another conundrum in the brooder that I hatched from Papas. A supposed Partridge Brahma, yellow chick with NO partridging at all, fully feathered legs and feet and now as she is feathering out, appears to have frizzled feathers!! How's that for mixed up genetics?. I have another 4 P. Brahmas in the incubator from them now, along with Blue Laced Red Wyandottes and some Cream Crested Legbars, so it will be interesting to see who actually pops out. Papas were generous with the quantity of eggs shipped but half of the Brahmas shipped (ordered 4 got 8 I think) and 4 were not fertile, so technically I got what I paid for, hopefully. Several of the wyandottes were not fertile either, and I had one CCL that quit. So all in all, I got what I ordered (exactly) but I hope they come out true to species.Mine also hatched from blue eggs from Papa's Poultry.
Here they are at four weeks - one looks black to me, and one looks blue. The black one has a thin little comb, the other has a wide comb base, or what ever you call it. The legs are an iron grey. Neither of these two get mixed up in the chest bumping, lunging and face-pecking that most of the other four week old chicks do. Does that mean they are both pullets? Let's keep in touch here, with pics!
Really I mean 'breed'. I hope they will be of the chicken species
HAHAHAHa, yup she's sooooo funny !!!!Check the feet, in case you got a duck!
Yes - two of the four Easter Eggers that hatched did turn out to be frizzles!
Are either of yours far enough along yet to tell sex?Yes - two of the four Easter Eggers that hatched did turn out to be frizzles!I've never had them before. How have you found them to do in winter? It can get down into the 20s here, at night.
