Someone correct me if I am wrong but make sure you don't breed frizzle to frizzle bc the chicks can get a double frizzle gene and it
makes them kinda 'bald' and really have hard frizzley feathers (if thats a word lol...) They will have a hard time staying warm in the winter ect.

u can breed frizzle to frizzle there nothing it when u triple up on it u get those super frizzled birds that are kinda narly

I actually know someone who did that and ended up with almost bald chicks!

So yeah, only one frizzle at a time...

if u breed frizzle to frizzle as long both of them had one non frizzle parent the babies well be ok

Here are my Silkie oddities.

Zap is a Sizzle. Not really sure what his/her color is exactly, but I sure do love the frizzle!

And then there is little Marigold.. Don't know what she is exactly, but she has Silkie characteristics (black skin, blue earlobes, 5 toes, leg and foot feathering) and a very strange looking head. Her name came about because she looks like someone lopped off her head and replaced it with a brown marigold blossom with a beak shoved into it.

She is an odd one. She alternates between looking very regal, and looking very pathetic. Everyone beats her up, so shes in with the little chicks. They use her as a beanbag chair.
