Are these pure silkies ?

[carlysutton5]

I hatched 10 eggs . To me 6 look like they are pure silkies, 2 some sort of Cochin mix maybe and the other two hatched from a frizzle hen. Let me know what you think I have and if you want to try and sex them too I would appreciate any

insight! Thanks

Silkie crossed with cochin will have normal feathering.

This one is the one that hatched from a frizzle egg. What do you think shell look like?

A chick of this color could end up being a variety of colors. Why do you think it's frizzle?
Too young to sex.

I am hoping she'll be frizzled as I got three eggs from a frizzled hen , only 2 hatched.

A 50/50 chance for either chick being frizzle. If they get the frizzle gene from mom they're frizzle. If they get the smooth feather gene from mom they're smooth-providing the rooster is smooth feathered. You will know shortly. Watch the wing feathers as they come in-If frizzle, the feathers curve away from the body-If smooth, the feathers curve in along the chick's body. Good luck.
