Breed her back to a silkieI sure hope you are right.. love this Sizzle but surely dont need more roosters lol! This is my latest picture of "her"I will take a comb shot today to post...Thank you for your guesses.... Also about breeding.. is it best to breed back to a silkie.. I think I read not to breed back to a frizzled bird? Is that right?
Still pretty sure on it being a girl.
A lot of mine turned up the same colour. I sold all of my rough feathered and smooth birds besides 2 smooth girls and a rough rooster.
I favoured the colouring and the comb over the skin colour for now. I only had one rough feathered bird with black skin, and the comb was single, so I kept the above guy. Hopefully bred back to my silkie girls - the skin colour will improve.

Interesting. I do plan on breeding all of my sizzles to my silkies. I wanted to breed them to each other but since they are all boys that would be difficult. I also have some cochins that I might breed to. Wonder what I would get if I do that??...
Oh yes. My male was black with brown in the hackles and he gave off either cream or khaki babies with random black feathers and random laced feathers - but he was bred to a buff laced mother.
Im doing good my smooth sizzle and rough sizzle are sitting on eggs both went broody at same time 10 eggs total will see what happens
But i'm exited, I may get to see two of his chicks from the first ones he hatched soon!

Hello everyone, I just hatched out my very first chick from my adult chickens and I unknowingly may end up with a sizzle. So here is the picture of "Sylvester" who's dad is a white frizzled cochin and mom a black silkie. I hope it has the feathers, but it is awfully cute either way. Love everyone's pictures. These are the funniest, cutest, and I am sure the sweetest type of birds out there

Quick snap in my grow out pen. The Partridge is a reg. Silkie, her earlobe isn't white, they were just dusted before I snapped the pic. The other two are F5/F6 Sizzles. Their curls are "droopy" due to the rain. Sorry for the bad pics I only had my cell cam when I was out in the pens yesterday.
Three young pullets 12-ish weeks old ( I need to check my books lol)
I have a few more like her in the brooder from a repeat breeding

How winter hardy are sizzles? I might have to put a lamp in for my phoenixes anyways, but it does get very cold here and I know that silkies aren't good in the winter at all.
AF chick, how did you get that black and white one? Like what breeding? We had a chick we bought at a day old almost that same color that was killed and I'd love to be able to breed another
My niece cried when she found out a coon got him. Miss him dearly
