[MrsMommaJones]

Please do update us here on the double. I would love to see one hatch.

Yes, I agree, please keep us updated.

This is exciting! I am eagerly waiting to see the outcome!
I set my first ever batch of eggs tonight. Hopefully it works!

The reason I did start the eggs when it's getting cold was because my rooster is sooo beautiful to me and he needs some offspring. I got him at a farm sale as a little black fuzzball and he turned into a beautiful big boy but it doesn't get below freezing here very often, it's usually hot after 1:00 with a breeze, so its pretty safe after they get feathers. So why not try when I can. On the same note in the spring or summer I will go to a farm sale and get some fertile duck and chicken eggs to widen my breeds, hopefully some call ducks and some more frizzels, and get a full grown frizzle pair.

Where are you located? We will be hatching frizzles in early spring

 

[MrsMommaJones]

I read that it's not good to breed frizzles together. They make sizzles.

here is size comparison next to chicken eggs from i think my black orpington, RIR or silver laced hens. and the others are duck eggs that are at the beginning of November. i'm in Florida






if one of the pair is frizzeld, curly, and one is "normal" then you have no problem with the breeding. i think it would be about fifty/fifty on the gene.

I'm sorry they didn't make it.

Keep us posted on this next trial, please. Good luck!

Here's the report on my soon to be (hopefully. knock on wood!!)chicks and duckling. First I started the duck eggs, seven of them, five where clear, one started and stopped and now I have a single egg due the sixteenth. Keep in mind I made another incubator just for lockdown. Then I set four mixed breed, silver laced Wyandotte, Rhode island reds, barred rock, production red and a frizzle rooster, eggs on the Thirty first. The double yolker is still questionable, it's hard to see through, but it's staying in the bater for a few more days. As for the other three one was clear and two are still going. On the fourth I set three more mixed,red star and Dominique, eggs. Two have started and one is questionable. Let's all hope the eggs will hatch
