sizzle, frizzle, and frazzle???

[bantamsrbest100]

Please help! I bought this trio a few weeks ago, Mo, Bob and Amy. left to right. Mo and Amy are silkie cross frizzle but i'm recently confused.. they are sisters?? Mo is getting some dark spots on her as u can c in the pic and her beak is yellow whereas Amy's is blue?

Does Bob look like a frazzle...??? i was told he is a lemon cuckoo pekin frizzle x blue frizzle bantam?? i'm reading horrid things about frazzles and organ probs and early death but Bob has wonderful feathering soft non and brittle as u can see! Any one think he something else? im sure his bro was smooth when i looked at them....

help!

If he had smooth feathered hatch mates (and they do, in fact, share the same parents) he is not a frizzle
Oops ^that should've said FRAZZLE. He is a frizzle

We think our smooth sizzle baby might be a roo. So we have an F18 black smooth sizzle for sale if anyone is interested (Denver area).

He's at a friend's house right now but I'll try to get pics soon.

Wow, I had no idea! I got some feathered bantam chicks from Tractor Supply and when their feathers came in, I thought they were deformed. My husband told me they are frizzles. I have two black frizzled roosters, one smooth black rooster, one frizzled black hen, and three smooth black hens. All feathered footed and beautiful so black they shine green. So I need to make sure the frizzled don't breed with the frizzled? But frizzled and smooth is ok? You think they are hatch mates and I might be inbreeding? Bad picture, but all I had this late at night.... Frizzle rooster, frizzle hen, and smooth rooster... and cocker spaniel

I saw that and thought "that is not a chicken" and then saw the chickens lol!

Ok so I have a Silkied Cochin Bantam, it is a cochin bantam but with a silkied gene. What would happen if I bred my silkie roo with this? The cochin bantam also has a little bit of frizzle mixed in with her so would this create a frizzled silkie?

Hoping someone here can help me....
I'm just getting into Sizzles this year (actually waiting my trio to arrive next week). I currently have 3 silkies (2 hens and a roo), and 1 frizzle hen. Next week I'll be getting a sizzle roo, and smooth sizzle roo and a smooth sizzle hen. (Along with a pair of silkie/cochin crosses that I'm unsure how to fit into my breedings yet)

Now when I get these I plan on setting up a breeding pen for the Sizzle roo over the Smooth hen and the Silkie/Cochin hen since that one pretty much looks like a Smooth anyway)
I want to place the Smooth roo in another breeding pen with the Frizzle and something else.

My question is, how can I fit the Silkies into these pens? What would I get if I bred a Sizzle back to a Silkie? Would it take away from the "sizzling" if I did? I know that's how you get a sizzle in the first place is breeding a Silkie to a Frizzle. I'm just wondering if it would be best to keep the silkies on their own since I have the trio and can just keep them in the pen I currently have them in.

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

If your Sizzles are lacking type, you want to breed them back to the Silkies to fix that. Some will come out as regular Silkies, some will be frizzled Silkies, some will be smooth and some will be normal frizzles.

Good luck with your new project!

That's another thing I'm getting confused about. I've seen a picture of a frizzled Silkie and can see the difference between those and the sizzles. But why are some people calling what looks to me to be a sizzle, a frizzled sizzle? I don't get it. Thought it was just Silkie, frizzle, sizzle and frizzled Silkie. (And frazzle which I know is what you get with breeding two frizzles)
