Hi! Yes, you *should* be able to tell the Silkie x Silkie chicks from the Silkie x Frizzle chicks. The 'full' Silkie chicks will be silkie feathered and the Silkie x Frizzle should have regular feathers (not silkie feathered). The Silkie x Frizzle chicks also have a 50% chance of being frizzled. You can usually tell what feathering they have by checking the wing feathers at 3 or 4 days-old.
Do you know the breed of your Frizzle hen?
