floridamama, i got that answer on page one of the thread when we were talking about the colorings i was picking.. don't know if it's enough information for you or not....
i'm going to change the title of this thread to be a general sizzle information thread... we need to keep it going because there are a LOT of people who don't understand the differences....
another question for you guys who know...
a frazzle is a frizzled bird who has 2 frizzle genes.. resulting in fragile feathers that break.. do you get the same thing with 2 sizzle parents??
even a smooth sizzle has a frizzled gene right??
once i get going on this i want to try to avoid frazzles and if there is such a thing sazzles
the poor birds look so gangly when half their feathers are missing...
They really DO go through an all ugly phase when growing out - at least most of them.
A frazzle comes from mating two Sizzles - curly normal feathers. Sizzle to sizzle (small s) for smooth Sizzles. Does not produce frazzles.
I got a few frazzles in this last group but they're doing really pretty well, none of them the uber fragile sort. And they'll make the next generation a lot easier.
I still get one or two that seem to go from chick to cute POOF in the blink of an eye. Those are cool, most still go through the all ugly all the time phase...
