The Sizzle Thread!

[Momma 2 silkies]

This hen, how did you get this pattern to her wings and tail? What were her parents. I'm asking because of my hen.



This isn't the best picture of her but I just got her and have never seen this pattern before on a silkie.

The two roos I had were Silkies, a dark buff and a blue splash. The hens were all frizzled barbed, 2 dark partridge, a light buff and a black.

I don't have any of my breeding info anymore and I had so many I could not tell you who the parents for this one bird way but I would think that it was the buff Silkie and the light buff Sizzle or the same male with one of the partridge hens. I'll see if I can find any pics and post them.

Hey everyone. I am new to chickens and sizzles and have a few questions I was wondering if you could help me with. First I will tell you a little info on my chicks.. I have three chicks that were hatched on Oct. 1. I was told one parent is a Silkie, and the other parent is a Frizzled Cochin. They all have five toes, feathers on their feet, black eyes, skin, and beak (although the white one has more of a charcoal grey skin color and developing yellow on the tip of the beak). They are all from the same parents, and I was told that their colors are black, grey, and white. I am assuming they are all girls for now. The black one is named Lois, the white one is Leela, and the grey one is Peggy. Now for my questions.. I will post the pictures after my questions. I apologize in advanced if I don't say the correct term for things. I am still learning

1. What are their colors actually called? The white one has started devoloping parts of dark grey on top of her head, and in some feathers. The black one has started to get white on the front of her neck. I was just curious as to what you guys thought their colors may be.

2. A few days ago I noticed this blue on their skin and base of feathers. They have shoulder blade poofs as I call them, and if i move it to the side to see their skin, it is bright blue. Same as the base of their feathers on their wings. Is this normal?

3. If one or two, or all for that matter, turn out to be roos, can I keep them together? Or will I need to keep them seperate? If only one turns out to be a roo, could I get him another as a friend? I am going to be keeping all three no matter what gender they may be. They are only for pets at this time, I am unsure if I want to breed them later on, if they are even of quality.

4. This question has to kind of due with number 3.. If only one is a roo, could I just keep him with the girls if I collect the eggs every day? I was told that I could keep him with them, however he will mess up their feathers when he latches on to try and mate.. Is this true?

Welcome - Too new to answer your questions but I think murphys law says you should assume they are actually all BOYS for now

Does anyone in or around Louisville, Ky have any nice sizzles for sale? I am looking for correct number of toes and skin, color doesn't matter to me at all. I'm only looking for 2 or 3 girls, I have a ton of boys. If you have any or know some one that does, please let me know.

I couldn't think of three boy names which is why I assumed girls. Who knew it would be so hard coming up with names. However I am already led to believe that at least one is indeed a boy.

He definitely has the feathered feet, but the comb is a single comb, so i'd say he is a naked neck bred to a frizzled cochin. So just a frizzled naked neck.

I have reccently gotten into sizzles and i'm very excited about it!

I have a buff silkie hen and a black berchin frizzled cochin roo as well as a couple of smooth feathered sizzles.
