Do these look fizzie to you? Lol I honestly do not care because I just needed some Bantams for my one week old Mille Fluer d'Uccle girl that had cross beak show up. But, I am curious...

Fizzie? Do you mean frizzled? If so I don't think any are frizzled. The frizzling shows up early, you can usually tell by the time their wings feathers have come in a bit. Here's two frizzled chicks:

Chicks sold as frizzles don't always have frizzled feathers. You shouldn't breed a frizzle to a frizzle (this results in very brittle feathers), so one parent is always normal feathered. So they inherit it or they don't. As the wing feathers come in, the ones that bend outwards will have frizzled feathers all over.
 
Oh ok so I need to wait for them to get about two or three weeks old for their wing feathers to start coming in. Because right now at 3 days old, they only have fuzz.
