The Sizzle Thread!

sizzle are frizzle cochin to silkie mix so if your cochins are frizzle you make sizzle but some time you well get smooth sizzles

Thats what I thought. Thanks! I have 4 sizzles, two silkie feathered, one smooth, & one sizzle.

If my silkie and my cochin breed will I get frizzles??  If so then can I breed those to my sizzles?

You won't quite have a sizzle first generation. You'll be closer. Use the rough feathered out of those crosses and breed back to regular silkies. In the second generation, get rid of any with light skin, 4 toes or a red comb. If they all have those things, keep the best and breed that one back to the silkies and keep going.

A sizzle is just a silkie with rough frizzled feathers.

Thanks. My little cochin has hatched 4 little babies. I am positive the father is a silkie, but not 100% if she is the mommy. The other chicken's eggs were a sebright. I am hoping my cochin is the mom. The babies all have 5 toes and feathering on the feet. And black skin.

Congrats! Pictures

Here is one of my older boys that I am probably going to keep as a backup in case something happens to George (who is 4 years old).

He sure is pretty

See the orangish one there? I have no idea on gender (not a great picture) but it is the only rough feathered one that has black skin.

Smooth girl. Oh god she is cute.. Definitely a keeper. I will breed her back to George

Next to a silkie.

Here's my cochin and silkie babies. Hoping they turn out to be frizzles so I can breed them to my sizzles.....

The first and second ones look like girls so far

The second to last one is a boy, and the very last one is too hard to tell.

Quick question, I've been calling my chicks frizzles but mum was a frizzle and dad was a silkie so does that automatically make them sizzles or do they have to also meet the criteria?

Have 3 with 5 toes one with four I think
All black feet (some more grey really) and all have black looking combs (defiantly not red anyway) and two are normal chicken combs and one plus the silkie looking one have rosé combs.
One looks like a regular silkie the other 3 have the frizzle feathers and are starting to get longer feathers on their heads though one is slower at that than the other two.

Oh and they all have feathering on their feet

Im not an expert on this but from what ive been told black skin 5 toes frizzle feathers are called sizzles. light colored feet red combs frizzled feathers are called frizzled and regular toes. could be wrong

Other than the feathers, barbed curly or barbed smooth, Sizzles need to meet the same criteria/standard as Silkies: 5 toes, black skin, blue earlobes, walnut comb, etc.

IF they have standard silkie feathers (not barbed), but are frizzled, then they are not sizzles BUT are frilkies
