Frizzle Frazzle or Sizzle

[sotchicken]

I made a previous post asking what breed this chicken was and we came to a conclusion that it was a silkie mix. Now I am curious if she is a Frizzle or Frazzle (or Sizzle or Sazzle if thats a thing). Her hair is really curly. Here is an age progression of her.

Sizzle. Silkie feathers + frizzle twist = sizzle. May be a sazzle; I've never actually seen one.

It could be fine, but from what I see those feathers are really curly and I think I can see exposed skin which doesn't look very good to me. Are there any health problems that you have noticed?

She's a sizzled frizzled frazzle sazzle.

Her growth rate was/is extremely slow. In that last picture she is about 20 weeks old and you can still see that she is just getting pin feathers in her neck area. She was about 2 months old before she doubled in size. Her sister died fairly young I believe due to complications with mites, but she pulled through after a little sevin dust. Up until about 3 weeks ago she wasn't able to jump up 6 inches. She has gotten a lot better recently. I haven't noticed any serious problems with her, she seems healthy. I thought that she was possibly a "failure to thrive" chick for a while.

In the 3rd pic she looks like a Sizzle but in the 4th pic she looks like a Sazzle.

She sounds like a sazzle to me, but it sounds like you are doing a great job taking care of her.

She is so pretty. You might have to knit a sweater for her in the winter though.

Whoa this is confusing, but interesting. What are the differences between frizzles/frazzles/sizzles/sazzles?
