it took me a while to see this one is a frizzled silkie- what are they 'officially' called? frilkies?

Paris-r, I call them Sizzles...isn't that right?

i think there is a separate term to distinguish them from the hard feathered curly ones. on ebay some are calling them shizzles.

Frilkie. But, since yours is a showgirl, I'd just call it a frizzled showgirl. Maybe that's why people are calling them shizzles?

So would someone please give us the correct definitions of:Sizzles,Shizzles,Frizzles, and Frilkies? (Sounds like a Dr.Seuss title,lol.) I want to call mine correctly. I think I might have hard and soft feathered frizzled Silkies.

I have always used the terms as such... others may define them differently-

Sizzle- barbed (hard) feathered in either smooth or curly
Frilkie- non-barbed (soft) feathered curly
Shizzle- non-barbed (soft) showgirl curly

Here are some adorable sizzles I hatched yesterday from eggs I bought and had shipped from California Country Ranch. They are sooo cute!

AFChick is right on these:
Sizzle- barbed (hard) feathered in either smooth or curly
Frilkie- non-barbed (soft) feathered curly (This is just a nickname for a frizzled Silkie)

However, on the FB Sizzle Chat, a "Shizzle" is a Showgirl (NN) with barbed (hard) feathers & can be smooth or frizzled (frizzle Shizzle) - try saying that 10 times really fast.
A Showgirl with frizzled silkied feathers is a frizzle Showgirl or frizzle Naked Neck Silkie. There's no nickname for this one. Hmmm...maybe a "Frigirl"? lol
