can you tell if you have a frizzle from day 1 or?

[spish]

or do you have to wait until they start getting feathers? just hatched out a few chabos from my flock (frizzld roo's over smooth feathered hens) and im hoping for a few frizzy little chicks! but they all just look like normal fluffy little chicks right now (a few hours old, dried out and fluffed up)

Maybe within a week or two when they start feathering out.

Do they turn upwards when a frizzle is feathering out ? As I have a few which could be either frizzled or straight feather.

Any other indications would be grand.

Regards
Dr Rob.

This was my bantam frizzle pullet at 11 days old...

My frizzle that just hatched a couple weeks ago was super obvious from about the second or third day of his life. Even before I could see the curl to the feather I could tell they were going to be frizzled.

Yea the minute those little feathers start to grow you can tell

This is my frizzle Duccle, just a week old!

There are degrees of frizzle and some you can tell in a day or so and others take a week or so. I have some chicks that were a silkie hen to a couple of frizzle roos there were some smooth and some frizzle. The frizzling showed up at different times.
