whats the difference between silky cocks and pullets in chicks
A frizzle is a breed of chicken. It is a mix between a silkie and a cochin.
The Silkie - novel - was created in 1969.
Well, if it's a hen, she may be broody. Silkie hens will PROTECT their eggs/young viciously at times. Generally, cochin-type chickens can be tamed fairly easily if handled gently, daily when young, pullet-cockeral age... Joetta Nelms

Our silkie bantam started crowing at 16 wks.
Most Silkie hens and roosters are identical and sometimes the rooster Silkie doesn't crow through out his whole life. The only way you can tell them apart if the Silkie is mating with hens and has a spur then of course it is a rooster. And if a Silkie laid eggs or is sitting on eggs then she is a hen. Another way to tell them apart is if you have a hybrid Silkie that Silkie might get a big wattle and comb.
Silkie chickens are extremely calm. When you raise a silkie chicken from when young it helps. My sister got a silkie chicken from a chicken breeder online. At first the silkie would screech every time you would pick her up, but my sizer held her every day for about a week; now all I can say that chicken is the most tame and calm chicken we have... She even won 1st place in showing at the fair.
She is currently doing activist work with her boyfriend, Charlie Veitch, owner of The Love Police, a truth peace group. Both Silkie and Charlie are now in Cambridge, with Silkie at Cambridge University.
Silkie chickens are a domesticated breed. Therefore, their habitat is a back yard in a chicken coop. That is the environment that suits them best!
you can sex a silkie by its pompom on the top if it is big that normally means its a hen and if it is small or doesn't have one it normally means a rooster
Yes, silkie bantams do lay edible eggs that are similar in taste and nutritional value to standard chicken eggs. However, silkie bantam eggs are typically smaller than average chicken eggs.
All specific breed clubs have breed/ show standards that must be met. See related links below for a Silkie club.
