Japanese Bantam Genetics. Questions?

[MasterOfAllChickens111]

I was reading about Japanese Bantams. They are True Bantams and all I see are smooth feathered. Do they have pure breed frizzle Japanese Bantams. Do they make them and if they do. How?

 

[Cyprus]

They do. I have one.
They make them by introducing the frizzle gene from seramas several generations out, then breeding back to standard while keeping the frizzle.

That is very interesting. I also saw some silked Japanese Bantams too. Does it work the same way?
