9catsz - Ostrich looks to have the frizzle gene also possibly. See how her crest kind of goes backwards? Frizzle is more subtle in silkies. I might have to get you a picture of my frizzled silkie/cochin baby so you can see.
BTW I think the Ostrich might be a girl. Not sure if it is 100% true, but when you cross "light skinned" breeds with silkies it seems the girls inherit the darker skin, whereas the boys seem to have the lighter skin. That has been my experience when I have crossed them in the past.
