Cochin Frizzle (base-breed type)

Representative Frizzlephoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.

Frizzling is not a breed but a feather mutation laid over a base breed; the Cochin/Pekin bantam is the most popular base, giving a round, heavily-feathered fluffball of curls. Polish-based frizzles add a crest.

Keeper tips for this variant

On feather-footed bases like Cochin/Pekin, keep litter clean and dry — curled foot feathering mats and cakes with mud easily, inviting scaly-leg and bumblefoot.
