Sizzle To Straight Feather Breeding

[jeylacooper]

so now that i have plenty of knowledge on NOT to breed my two sizzles together, what would be the outcome if i were to breed my black sizzle to a straight feathered barred rock?

Well, frizzling is dominant, so breeding a sizzle to a smooth feathered bird will result in half the chicks being frizzled and half being smooth.

When you say sizzle, I'm also assuming it's a silkied bird? Sorry, the terms breeders are using keep changing for these birds, so I'm not sure. So anyway, silkie feathering is recessive, so none of the babies with have silkied feathers, but they will all be carrying the gene for it.

And, this is a separate thing, depending on what color your sizzle is, the babies will also be sex-linked if you're using a barred rock hen - not sure what gender the sizzle is and what gender the barred rock is. If the sizzle is the cock and the barred rock is the hen, and the sizzle isn't barred or white, then the chicks would be sex linked. Males would hatch with a white spot on their heads and will be barred. Females will hatch solid and will not be barred.

Yes, when i say sizzle, my cockerel is a silkie with frizzled feathers. my sizzle is in fact black and the male, meaning this would be the outcome if we were to breed. Thank you so much for this information! It really helped a lot, and i hope to breed as soon as my cockerel is old enough.
