Photo of my son Johnny & his non-frizzle partridge/red sizzle aptly named "Chicken". Chicken enjoys (we think) car rides, bucket rides and tractor rides in the trailer while I'm cutting grass (with Johnny of course). He/She? is a very tolerent bird, and rides on Johnny's shoulder. Chicken is from a mating of a partridge silkie hen to a red frizzle bantam cochin rooster and was purchased from a friend. We think this is a pullet but I'm not 100% certain yet. Thanks!

From what I've read you need smooth to frizzle breedings to produce quality frizzled feathering, so IMO you need some non-frizzles to some extent. To keep breeding frizzle to frizzle would produce bad feathering, brittle twisted feathers. So to me frizzle x silkie = sizzle, both in frizzle & non-frizzle to take back to each other. At least that's my own understanding of the new combo. Anyone else have any take on that?
Thanks

It's true that you cannot breed frizzle x frizzle, for fear of ending up with a curly, but if you look at it that way, any bird alive would be eligible to win a frizzle contest. A frizzle is a bird with the backwards feathers, the contest isn't for birds that breed with frizzles to make more frizzles. A sizzle is a frizzled silkie, and you cannot say that simply because you could cross a silkie with a sizzle, that it could be considered a sizzle, because a regular silkie is not a sizzle.

OK, I thought they were trying to make it a breed of it's own. And always needing to hybridize it with a silkie to keep it non-frizzle to frizzle and make more sizzles would always keep it a hybrid wouldn't it? Of course if that's the point for it to just remain a hybrid I guess it doesn't really matter though. I think I'll stick with frizzles OR silkies and not the combo and leave the non-sizzle non-frizzle thingee my son has all to him. LOL

Yeah, it's like a frizzled cochin. It's technically a cochin, that carries the frizzle gene.

What is a sizzle? I see you guys talking about them but what are they?
