The Sizzle Thread!

[Sonoran Silkies]

This is a pullet I hatched this year from my sizzle bred to a Showgirl. Does this look like vulture hocks to you? Can Silkie feathers have vulture hocks and still be silkied feathers, not stiff ones? Does anyone know how difficult it is to breed out this trait?

Yes, it looks like vulture hocks, yes they can be silkied and yes, it is difficult to breed out.

Her parents were blue and black or partridge, so her coloring has come from the partridge or further back somewhere.

Not sure if they are paints or dominant whites. I asked Sonoran so we'll see.

Update, yes they are! apparently paint and dom. white is the same thing.

I believe I also have a paint sizzle chick. I will try and post picks this evening.

My newest batch of Sizzles with one of their Silkie mommas. They're a shared clutch between two broodies, lucky chickies

A cockerel from an earlier hatch.

A pullet from the same clutch as the cockerel above.
They're parents are my frazzled Cochin hen and a smutty buff Silkie rooster I recently rehomed.

So I have another quick question. I have a black sizzle rooster ( that looks like a pinecone) and a kahki sizzle rooster ( that looks like a silkie). I also have 4 cochin hens as well as some cochin/silkie mixes. I know that I can put my mixes (smooth feathered of course) in with my sizzle boys, but what about my cochin girls? What would I get if I put them in with my sizzle roosters? Or would that be a big project?
