Sizzles are growing up (Pic)

What breed is the frizzle from?

Jaynie, here is one of the last two I got from your eggs, I had two hatch from that batch and one is a frizzled silkie (I think a roo) and one is a sizzle (I think a pullet) here is a pic of the sizzle:

I think she is going to be nice, what about you.

Frizzles are originally cochins. But being that you can breed the frizzle gene into any other breed you can get frizzled polish... etc.

Jaynies and mine are actually silkies with the frizzle gene. I got mine from Jaynie.

Sizzles are the result of crossing a Frizzled Cochin and a Silkie.
Once the original cross is made they are then bred back to other Sizzles to hopefully develop a true breed. As with any Frizzle breeding you only breed Smooth birds to Frizzled birds with 50% of the offspring being Frizzled. To breed Frizzle to Frizzle you will get 100% frizzled birds but many of them will have organ problems as well as brittle and sparse feathering. It is possible to get both frizzled Silkies and Sizzles ( which is for all intents and purposed a Silkie with regular hard feathers)

My Sizzles are now 4th generation. They are not a recognized breed but may well get there, much like the showgirls. It takes many years to develop a new breed and lots of dedicated people who continue to work on a standard or perfection.

You seem to have a very ineresting breeding system there. I would have never thought it would take so long to devolope a different breed. Thank you, I think that all helped us a lot.

I love sizzles. The only problem is you can't tell if they are going or coming.

How does one get a sizzle or two in their own flock? Are there any eggs for sale?
