The brown bird is hard to see (fuzzy photo), but it looks to me like silkie feathers instead of frizzle feathers.

Frizzle feathers curl, so it looks like the chicken walked through a windstorm backward. If you cross a frizzle to a chicken with normal feathers, about half the chicks get frizzled feathers and about half get normal feathers.

Silkie feathers look like hair instead of like normal feathers. If you cross a Silkie to a chicken with normal feathers, all of the chicks get normal feathers.

The new photo is clearer, and I can see the chicken is indeed a frizzle.
So crossing her to the rooster should give about half frizzled chicks, and about half chicks with normal feathers.

It also looks like she has a single comb, no crest, and no muff/beard. So chicks from that pair will also have single combs, no crest, and no muff/beard.
