Silkie thread!

[PaintedFeathers]

Here they are. Maybe they are silkies?

#1, #3, and #4 look like frizzled cochins, #2 could be a smooth frizzled silkie? Watch to see if it grows a crest at all. It looks to have black skin, but unfortunately looks to be just smooth feathered so if it's a frizzle it may just be a carrier.

Thanks! The little blue one is itty bitty compared to the others. It does have back skin.
If it is just a carrier, will it look like a regular silkie? Will it keep the color?

it looks like it may get smooth feathers, not silkied. when you make sizzles you will get a mix of sizzles(silkies with hard frizzled feathers). frizzled silkies( silkies with frizzy silkied feathers), regular silkied feathers and smooth feathers.

and it actually looks like a lavender not a blue =)

Just thought I'd share this. My silkie roo is not an agressive fella at all. Until today. I had everybody out doing the free range and one og my RIR girls ( the big kids are kept in a seperate pen from my silkies) was dust bathing and a hawk stooped down. I was all like "$@*%, not afreakin'gain" (we just had one of our cornishX get cut up by a hawk a couple of weeks ago.) Mr. Silkie Roo jumped and tore the belly feathers off the hawk. Now I have hawk feathers all over my yard and my silkie roo is so proud of himself, he's almost intolerable! LOL. He aparently thought he deserved a reward from the RIR hen and proceeded to chase her all over the yard until the big rooster put a stop to it. Too funny!

Wow! He was going for a RIR and a little Silkie Roo beat him up! He must be a tuff guy. I hope that hawk doesn't come back.

Not really, a frizzle is a bird with frizzled feathers of any breed. They are labeled as their own breed by the APA but are judged as the breed they are, such as a frizzled cochin, frizzled silkie, sizzle, frizzled polish, etc. Do you know what kind of frizzles you have?


I think so... but it could be 50/50

No a frizzle I am actual breed but u can frizzle any chicken just like u can silkie it
