A frizzled silkie is not a sizzle! A frizzled silkie has feathers that are both silkied AND frizzled. A sizzle has all silkie features EXCEPT silkie feathering.

Please don't get me wrong!! I LOVE my whatever they are… There were NO polish at the breeders. My fluffy chicken has silkie characteristics except for her beak is pink with black spots. She has five toes and dark skin. She isn't a frizzle, I've had one of those and she is wayyy different. She is soo soft and really just fluffy. I'll just be happy to have her and try not to figure out what she is!

WOW, there is so much misinformation on this thread. Allow me to clear things up please as I've gone to a lot of trouble to understand these terms.

Frizzle: a chicken of any breed with curly feathers, often found in cochins, polish & seramas.

Frazzle: A chicken of any breed with a double dose of curly feather genes which causes the feathers to be hard, sparse & overly curled.

Frilkie: A silkie or silkie feathered silkie cross with curly feathers.

Sizzle: Is a breed that is in the process of being established. It has full silkie characteristics except that it's feathers are hard, not silkied. They can come in frizzle or smooth.

Crossing a cochin with a silkie does not make a sizzle or if it does, it's a very low quality one. Many breeders in the US are going to a lot of trouble to produce a correct looking sizzle. It is more correct to call your birds silkie/cochin crosses unless you have at least most of the type/characteristics established.
Speakup4kids has got a lovely duo of sizzles. Most of the others are crosses that aren't typy enough to be sizzles yet.

Yes, your not supposed to breed a sizzle to sizzle the feathers are alot sharper and break off.
