The Sizzle Thread!

[appps]

Ah I see thanks. My one walnut comb is more grey skin than black and im pretty sure doesnt have the five toes and my one very black skin with all other criteria has a black normal comb. So sounds like they are frizzles.

Edited because I just went and checked
Dark grey feet
Five toes!!
Dark rose comb
Grey maybe hint of blue spots
Getting head feathers
Fluffy feet

Do the spots blue up with age? 7 weeks at moment and same colour as the little silkies

Sort of a little off topic but related to previous questions I guess. A friend of mine breeds birds mainly small parrots and it came up in conversation one day that inbreeding doesn't happen with birds. She can breed brother and sister with no problems. Does the same apply with chickens? So if mine are brother and sister can I still breed from them? (silkie to my frizzle with the walnut comb?)

funny you say frilkies when actually in the show ring, they are shown as frizzled silkies if they have frizzled silkie feathers.

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

Yes, I'm well aware of that

I use the coined term of endearment for a frizzled silkie ie: "frilkie" .

the parrot question is a bit different in that most parrots have NOT been bred in captivity as long as dogs and cats etc. this is why inbreeding is not so much of an issue. it was only about 20 yrs ago that they stopped importing most parrot species, they were caught in the wild prior to that.
so chickens, you can have issues but since they don't live as long.... like inbreeding in mice, short life span. truly average life span for a chicken, roosters included, probably less then 4 yrs because we eat them.

So is this a sizzle?





There are five toes under that fluff.

Or is being more dark grey than black enough to disclude it?
