Yup, I would think so too. Interesting though never saw a Polish cross that looked that much like a cochin in the back end.

Hers some pics of my Gold Laced Polish,

Started Golden Polish Chicks, They are not much too look at when they are young. They have, the temporary, ugly duckling syndrome/scragaly look

. almost all chickens get it

Just look up and look at these beauties when they are full grown.

These little guys made it to feathersite

Gosh, everyones birds are beautiful. Josh yours are super! Good photos too!
I have a question about genetics.
Currently I have a Silver Laced roo and a Golden Laced hen, I have only hatched a few chicks from these.
The chicks are Silver...my question is this...I was told that by crossing as I have done with the silver male and gold female I will get Silver pullets and silver with"yellow" males.
Is this correct?
Also was told that by crossing opposite, the gold male and silver female I will get a "sex link" pure gold laced females and silver with yellow sheen males.
And if I can ask another question please? My tow chicks are both silver laced.....one is black and white and is white and black

does that make any sense???? One has a pure black crest, the other a sort of silver crest.
They are young chicks but growing like weeds, sure hope they are pullets!
Thanks for the help, I am enjoying the wonderful pics!

Oh I also wanted to add that I crossed a white silkie hen with this Silver laced roo and got 10 chicks, they look like peas ina pod, everyone exactly the same. All silver speckled.
It's like a whole nuther breed. They have black skin and beaks, 5 toes, feathered legs, muffs/beards and this same black and white pattern to their feathers.
I'll try and get pics, [they are WILD] VERY pretty though!

I love your silver laced... Mine looks nothing like that.. AT ALL!!!


So how does one get Frizzled into a new breed...

I have a frizzled rooster and hen... but how to I trasport the GENE into, say... a Polish, or a Turken... Is this a 2 step process??? Im still learning the Frizzle and Silky genes..

 

[chickenman98]

i think you just breed, say a frizzled roo with a normal hen, and some from them chicks are frizzled and some arent. breed the ones that do have frizzling together and the chicks from those should be all frizzled.

 

[texascowboy1979]

the thing I noticed on Frizzle to Frizzle...

3/4ths came out frizzled

1/4th came out normal featherd...

Out of 9 chicks... 2 were normal featherd...

So if I breed a Polish to a Frizzle... the chicks will be split to frizzle?
