could someone help me out here i would like to create a frizzle chocolate orpington and i would like to create a frizzle sebright now i know i would have to cross breed the birds but which birds would be best now is this possible or not i have got some chocolate orpingtons and some gold and silver sebrights if all is possible i would like to do some science so which birds would be best to create these to different types of birds if at all it's possible.

Pardon?

is it possible to create an frizzle chocolate orpington or not i have never seen one before but would like to give it ago if it's possible to do.

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!
