Accidental Frizzle+frizzle?

[duckdaze]

Hi there,
I am new to silkies and chickens in general. I knew
not to breed a frizzle to a frizzle, but the breeder where i got my roo said he was a regular silkie. I bred him to by frizzle and I just hatched 3 of his chicks when the breeder saw him and told me he was also a frizzle!!! What do i do now? What is the chance that my chicks will be frazzles? How and when will i know? When the feathers come in or when they molt? I rehomed the frizzled rooster so it never happens again.
thanks!

Genetically 25% chance they would be frazzles.
With only 3 chicks though it could be none or all three.
% don't pan out so well with small numbers.

know?

They are the 3 largest in this picture. At 2.5 weeks, it appears that 2 have the frizzled feathers.

They do not currently look frizzled to me. Post a few pictures again in another few weeks. To me they look like regular silkies.

Are you sure your roo was really a frizzle? Do you have a picture of him?

That's a regular silkie not a frizzle.
