Frizzles - how old before you can tell they are?

[TreeHugger]

I hatched out 8 chicks that were suppose to be polish frizzles last Saturday. I knew that there was chance that some of them wouldn't come out with the frizzle traits. However, at 1 week old they look like their wing feathers are growing in straight. I can live with that, but if they are "frizzled" when will I be able to tell?

Give them another week or so to see how their wing feathers progress.

Here are a couple of my Frizzles, it's their two week old birthday today!

The one on the right did not frizzle out.

Ummmm you can tell at 1 week old even 5 days old. Look at the tip of the wings you should see if they have a curl to them, you would see it now.

Yaeh i know guess I just couldn't miss the chance to show off my Frizzles!

You're babies are adorable! I think I might have 4 frizzles out of the 8. Their wings are a little curly at the end. By looking at your pic I should be able to tell in another week for sure.

If you see a little curl they are frizzles.

My frizzles as soon as their wings feathers started coming in, I could tell they were frizzed:

The little white guy, his feathers were not as curled at first, but they did slant upward a little:

The Mille was the curliest, or maybe it jst looked that way because of the different colored feathers:
