sizzle, frizzle, and frazzle???

[howfunkyisurchicken]

A frazzle has two frizzled parents, so it gets two copies of the frizzle gene instead of one.
They're feathers tend the be brittle and break off, leaving bald patches. They also usually don't have the under fluff most chickens have, so they have trouble keeping themselves warm.

sorry if it's a repeat question, but what makes a sizzle?

trying to unconfuse myself

 

[howfunkyisurchicken]

A Sizzle is a bird that looks like a Silkie, but has frizzled, normal feathers (or smooth, since they're needed to breed to the frizzles).
What you use to make them is up to you, since they're still in project phase (not an accepted breed). I used a frizzled Cochin bred to a Silkie when I started. Other use Polish, or whichever breed they can get their hands on to introduce the frizzle gene

I have one that kind of looks like that. I was told it's a frizzle sizzle. That needs a bath?

I would love a Sizzle and a Frizzle. I have Silkies just as pets. Anyone know where I could buy one? Would love a hen. I already have 2 Silkie rooster's. I live in Pasco County.

I have a beautiful pair (roo and hen) of bantam black Cochins that are said to carry the frizzle gene but they are smooth. I was thinking of putting my splash silkie hen in with them. Would this combo produce any sizzles?
