Anyone?

Looks to me like a partridge sizzle (Frizzled Silkie) pair.

 

[technodoll]

that's what I thought... but wasn't sure as they are a bit bedraggled!

Any thoughts on the "quality"?

I may be buying them...

Looks like frizzled partridge silkies! Pretty birds!!!

Yep. I Agree.

Yep looks like a silkie/ frizzle to me.I am currently trying to hatch some now so hoping to get a good hatch on them.They seem to becoming a popular breed.Then I am adding in some showgirls as well so should be an intersting lil flock

 

[technodoll]

Still not sure if I will buy them... not sure there's a market for offspring, I mean they look like dirty muppets!

Well I'm no expert with Silkies, but I personally wouldn't get them as a breeding pair. They would create offspring with horribly weak, fraile feathers. . . And the rooster already has some pretty weird, stringy, "featherless" tailfeathers. They look kinda weird, but I don't often see Sizzles. Perhaps someone else with Silkie/Sizzle experience can chime in.

The female doesn't look as bad as the male, but that's a tiny puff of feathers over her head (kinda makes me think it isn't a she) so I'd look elsewhere. Just my opinion.

I don't know that there is such a thing as quaility when talking about a sizzle. If you like him, get him and enjoy!!

Definitely is a pair, the female lays eggs... and they are kept in horrible dirty conditions, both need a bath and some fresh air and a good feet cleaning IMO. I just feel sorry for them
