Collect up and incubate some more of their eggs and you'll have more!

Ok so I have been reading different threads about silkies/sizzles/frizzles and now I need help . I bought chicks in May, so they are almost 5 months old. There are two roosters who have been crowing for months and 5 hens. I know they may not lay for awhile longer yet, but I want to make sure which chickens can be bred together and which should not be. I am posting pictures of each of them, color coded lol if anyone would like to assist me.
Thanks!!!

I read somewhere that breeding frizzle to frizzle will cause brittle feathers. So it would have to be frizzle bred to solid feather to make non brittle feathered frizzles.
Sizzle is frizzle bred to silkie, pretty much same process, but with silkie feathers instead of solid.

Yeah frizzle to frizzle is frazzle, which can have brittle or limited feathers. Whoever came up with these words??
Anyway, I'm thinking the only ones that can be bred are the smooth and the silkie. Is that right?

Solid/smooth X Silkied feathered = Solid, but soft feathers.

Porcelain D'Uccle X white silkie cross is good example.
