Frizzle

Frizzle chickens are a unique and exciting breed of chicken known for their distinctive, curly feathers. These birds come in various colors, including white, black, and red, and are small to medium-sized birds. They are also known for being friendly and hardy, making them a great addition to any backyard flock.
One of the most notable characteristics of Frizzle chickens is their feathering. Unlike most other chicken breeds, the feathers on a Frizzle chicken’s wings and tail will curl inwards, giving them a poufy and fluffy appearance. This is caused by a genetic mutation known as the “Frizzle gene.” This mutation causes the barbules on the feathers to be weaker than average, resulting in the feathers’ curling.
Frizzle chickens are also known to be good layers of small to medium-sized eggs. They are generally considered to be hardy and adaptable birds and can do well in a variety of different climates. They are also known to be friendly and easy to handle, making them an excellent choice for backyard flocks. They are considered a rare breed, and they may fetch a higher price than standard breeds.
Regarding care and management, Frizzle chickens are similar to other breeds. They will need a secure coop or enclosed area to sleep in at night and a fenced area to forage during the day. They will also need a food and water source and a place to dust bath. Frizzle chickens are relatively low maintenance and can be a great addition to any backyard flock.
