Always be sure to put down plenty of newspaper or plastic sheeting before you start. A cheap tarpaulin or table cloth can be a great option. It's surprising how far paint can go when kids are involved, so be sure to protect a wide area of floor. Keep kitchen roll or baby wipes close at hand for any emergency clear-ups. Just like Silkies though, the Frizzle’s feathers mean they struggle in cold and wet conditions. You need to keep them dry and warm all year round.
