My Breeding Project Blog - Frizzled and Laced Colored Egg Layer

[kristin07035]

I've been looking everywhere for fizzles. Any breed/color except the Polish & Serama ones (they aren't cold hardy).
Would prefer a started pullet (to be aquired now) but will take chicks or even fertile eggs (to be aquired in April/may).
Im in NJ & can pickup locally or I will pay for shipping.
Please pm me with what you have available & price.
All the hatcheries I have looked at are sold out for 2014 already or don't have any avail till August.

I've never shipped before, but I could. I've got eggs going into lock down right now. Not sure how they will be. I've got a started cockerel as well who is 3 months, but no pullers.

My frizzles are standard size Cochin frizzles. I will update my blog after this hatch.

I'd definitely be interested. Let me know what hatches. I can't have roosters in my town
but if you hatch frizzled pullets I'd definitely will be interested.

Any update on your hatch? Are you getting the Frizzled chicks that you hoped for.
I would like to start a similar project next year. I have 4 pure Ameraucanas (blue eggs) and am getting a Frizzled Bantam Cochin Roo. I only have 1 smooth Bantam Cochin pullet for him so I am thinking I will add a couple AMs to his pen when he is mature to see what I get. It is my understanding it takes one generation to add in the Frizzle gene. Then by selecting only Frizzled blue egg laying pullets to be covered by a Pure AM Roo I should have both genes set within 2 to 3 generations.
I just love my Frizzles and I really enjoy getting blue eggs. So what could be better that a Frizzled blue egg layer?

I am getting lots of frizzles! I have a standard Cochin roo over my hens. I hatch probably 75% frizzles from him. I haven't kept any to maturity, but an in contact with my buyers. I did add a frizzled Easter egger roo, so I should always get blue eggs from him. We will see! Eventually I will keep some lol!

Nice A few of my AMs are petite and thought the size match up on the bantam cochin rooster over them would be a good match. I think a Standard cochin Roo might be too much for them. I do plan to bring back LF AM size through breeding back to pure Ameraucanas.

I had all my hens before I decided to do this lol. And well, they are all rather beefy! I started with a bantam frizzle, and he got the job done, but all the chicks got his size.

LOL. Same here. I have all my hens already but my AMs are pretty petite and I now have gotten a Bantam Frizzled Cochin Roo to put over my smooth cochin girls so a couple of my AM girls will join his harem when he is mature enough to do the job. I'm sure he won't complain.

Would love to see pictures of your birds and eggs
