White ones are the size of my largest hen and they're not even fully grown yet!

They all have pointy triangular tails apart from Thor who has a fluffy pompom tail. Thor seems more like a pure cochin whilst the others seem like mixes (they kinda resemble brahmas) and are larger than Thor

All of these apart from the frazzle

I'd say Wanda and Vis are Brahma mixes, but not first gen since they have single combs.

I was just making sure, cause frazzles aren’t a good thing

I was just making sure, cause frazzles aren’t a good thing

Why?

 

[TheOddOneOut]

Why?

Do you know what frazzles are?
A frizzle x a frizzle makes a frazzle, which has feathers so brittle and curly many snap off at the skin and leave the poor bird half-naked.

That’s why when buying frizzles from a hatchery they say “50% frizzles” - because the frizzles have to have one smooth parent so they don’t come out frazzled.
