    Frizzle cochin/silkie sexing

    Is Frannie really a Frankie? 12 weeks, still a small comb and no wattles, but the coloring and some pointy feathers are throwing me off. The mama hen, who is also a frizzle, has pointier feathers than my other hens too, so maybe it's a frizzle thing? Mom is cochin, dad is 3/4 silkie, 1/4 serama.
