Hello chicken keepers,
One of the pure joys of chicken keeping is how many unique and fabulously feathered chicken breeds are available. One of the most popular and striking chook breeds you can keep are Frizzle chickens. Their distinctive feather growth pattern and lovely nature make the Frizzle chook a pleasure to keep in the backyard chicken coop. Let’s have a peck at the cuter than cute Frizzle chicken breed!
The Frizzle Chicken Breed
Australia and some European nations recognise Frizzle chickens as a distinct breed and some countries classify them as a type only. This is because the gene that makes a chicken frizzled can be found in many different chicken breeds. While the most common Frizzle chickens we see in Australia are the Cochin, a lot of other breeds can be frizzled! The frizzle gene can be also be seen in Polish, Plymouth Rock and Japanese bantam chooks.
