Redwing Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I have seen a frizzle feathered orpington - they dont look right at all but yes its possible, I dont know much about chicken genetics but a LF Frizzle and a LF Orp would probably be a good start for breeding, I dont think the choc gene exists in Frizzles so I'd look for a black one and cross black to chocolate - Google 'chicken genetics calculator' for a useful tool which tells you what color crossings will produce Experiments like this dont tend to get results quickly, you would probably have a few years or effort and an awful lot of rejects before you hit on anything good The idea of a frizzle feathered Sebright fills me with horror. sorry!
