Sizzle x Frizzled?

[TerrorMoon]

He llo!

I have some sizzle hens & a frizzle Cochin rooster. I’ve read it’s not okay to breed frizzle to frizzle, so far with my research I have not seen anything about breeding a sizzle to a frizzle.

Can anybody provide any guidance to with this?

TIA!

I'm not sure, but I would post this over in the Genetics forum.

I would assume that it's probably not a good idea.

Thank you! I’m thinking it’s not as well which is why I asked

Sizzle is frizzle, just with silkie feathering.

Breeding Frizzle to frizzle gets you 1/4 "frazzle" chicks, chicks that have so much frizzling that their feathers are brittle.

Silkie is a recessive gene, so it wouldn't show up in the offspring, leaving you with normal, frizzle, and frazzled chicks.

Exactly! I’ll be selling off more of my sizzle chicks if that’s the case. I posted and we will see what the genetics folks have to say... also reading everything I can on that forum now, I didn’t realize there was a genetic area! Thank you for the recommendation
