Frizzle Chickens?

[Sandbellie]

Are they easily obtained? Or are they some-what rare?

Are they a good breed? What are their laying habits?

Any info on the breed would be great.

Thanks!

Well I think they are fairly rare, but they can be acquired, depending on where you live.

There is a lady here in the Sacramento area (well, I think she's about 15 miles out in another little town) who has sizzles, frizzles, and silkies and sells chicks, hatching eggs, and birds. She has an ad about once a month on craigslist when she has birds or eggs available. Check your local craigslist ads and, of course, keep checking here. Surely someone will answer this thread that lives in your area ....

Good luck to you & I hope you find the birds you seek.

Actually, the Frizzle isn't a breed - it's a characteristic, like coloring.

For example, I have Polish chickens, Blue, Black, Chocolate and White. The Chocolate is also frizzled, so she is a White Crested Chocolate Frizzled Polish.

Clear as mud?

I haven't heard it stated better than this

Frizzle can occur with ANY breed, and is recognised the the APA and ABA for ALL breeds and varieties.

Sizzle is a bit unique as it has most, but not all silkie characteristics; sizzles do not have silkie feathering.

Okay, well, whats the most common breed to be a Frizzle?

And are they sold at hatcheries/feed stores? Or just by breeders?

My friend has been driving me nuts looking for frizzles and I keep telling her "frizzle" is not a breed, it's a trait that can be found in many breeds. But, her "needle is stuck," she keeps on looking for frizzles. What she really wants (I think) is a frizzled bantam polish pullet.

I got my 2 frizzles from a chicken swap in June in Waterloo, IL (30 miles from St. Louis)
The woman who bread them is from Il and I may have her card.
If interested, contact me.

BTW, my little Sugar Frizzle laid her first egg Christmas Day and Pepper laid her's today. Hurray, they are so small and cute. The eggs are different shades of brown too, so that will make it easier to tell the difference.

picture from this summer. They are bantums.

Bantam frizzle cochins seem to be the most common. Hatcheries do sell them. I don't recall which ones off hand, but look around. I would suspect Ideal and McMurray do.

I have a few frizzle Seramas which are cute as can be.

They're pretty easy to come by.

Frizzles are great! I get mine from the local feed and farm store, plus I have hatched out a few of my own. They are terrific little banty chickens, of which I've only had hens, but they are great layers and terrific brooders and mamas!

I breed Frizzled Seramas...they are wonderful, like petting a feather duster!
