Sizzle or Frizzle? Pullet or Roo?

[Lynn_Farm]

I'm just venturing into the world of chickens and have already become addicted. I have a question on this one and am wondering if I could get some advice? Sizzle or Frizzle? Pullet or roo (or is it too early to tell...thinking (s)he is about 4 weeks old)? Thanks!

It's a Black Frizzled Bantam, and on the sex ...??

Pardon my ignorance, what's a sizzle?

Yep, I think it's a Frizzle roo...looks like a roo to me because of those little wattles. Usually pullets don't have those quite so noticeably.

A Sizzle is a cross between a Frizzle and a Silkie...they usually have black skin, 5 toes on each foot, sometimes the Walnut comb like a Silkie, but my Sizzle has a Single comb. It's a mix, so it just depends on the genes it picks up.

This is my little Sizzle when he was young...turned out to be a Roo:

Thanks for all the replies. That's what I was thinking, too. My sexed pullets (of the same age) don't have any signs of wattles yet.

Thanks! They're all grown up now...the Silkie is the broodiest little thing...sitting on a nest of her own eggs right now, and that Sizzle is probably the proud papa to most of them, if not all. I don't think the other roos mess with her. I can't wait to see the babies!​

Your welcome!

What is your silkie & sizzle's names? Could you send me the babies when they hatch???
