The Frizzle is a breed of chicken with characteristic curled or frizzled plumage. While the frizzle gene can be seen in many breeds, such as the Pekin and Polish, the Frizzle is recognised as a distinct breed in a number of European countries{{r|ee|soc}} and Australia.{{r|aus}} In the United States frizzled chickens are not considered a breed, and at shows are judged by the standards of the breed they belong to.{{r|ekarius|page=24}}

History

The origin of the Frizzle is unknown. The frizzle gene is thought to have originated in Asia;{{r|bassom|page=137}} frizzled chickens have been reported from the Far East since the eighteenth century.{{r|soc}} The Frizzle breed is the result of breeder selection for exhibition.{{r|soc|graham|page2=102}} It is recognised in nine European countries: Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Slovakia and the United Kingdom.{{r|ee|roberts}}

Characteristics

The gene for the curling of the feathers is incompletely dominant over normal plumage; not all members of the breed have frizzled feathers. Frizzled birds are heterozygous for the gene; when two are bred, the offspring inherit the gene in the usual Mendelian 1:2:1 ratio: 50% are heterozygous and frizzled like the parents, 25% have normal feathering, and 25% are "over-frizzled", with brittle feathers resembling pipe-cleaners.{{cn|date=October 2017}} The Frizzle has a single comb and is clean-legged – without feathers on the shanks.{{r|roberts|page=121}} It is a good forager and is hardy.{{r|soc}}

Four colours are recognised in the Entente Européenne standard: black, blue, cuckoo and white.{{r|ee}} The Poultry Club of Great Britain recognises thirteen colours for both standard and bantam sizes;{{r|standard}} not all of them are currently bred.{{r|soc}} The Australian Poultry Standards recognise black, blue, buff, white, columbian, red and "any recognised colour".{{r|aus}}

Use

The Frizzle is reared exclusively for exhibition.{{r|roberts|page=121}} It is a good layer of white or tinted eggs, and frequently gets broody.{{r|bassom|page=137}}
