Frizzles

These two are supposed to be frizzles but I am thinking otherwise..... Any thoughts will be appreciated

They are regular feathered.

They're not frizzles. They might have been from a frizzled parent, but if you're breeding frizzles correctly only half the chicks produced are frizzled.

Thank you for the help!

Thank you for the info. I bought them and was told they were frizzles. Guess I will buy them next time when they are a little older!

Not frizzles, but still adorable!

Adorable but not frizzled. Generally frizzing first shows up at the wing tips.

Non frizzled.

Frizzling shows up around week 2-3, and its very noticeable.

Maybe one parent was frizzle so your chicks will carry the gene and that's why the told you that. I know when people breed for frizzles they breed a smooth to a frizzle to avoid what I understand to be lethal genetic mutations. Therefore some of the chicks will show frizzling and some show smooth but they all carry the frizzle gene. So if yours are from a frizzle parent they might could make frizzle babies.

Frizzling is dominant. It is impossible to carry the gene without expressing it. Sadly, these chicks do not have the frizzle gene.

Thank you for checking this I don't want to spread bad info. I'd done some reading up on this out of curiosity as I had a frizzle hen so my curiosity was peaked. I had read some chicks would express the gene and others wouldn't. Sorry OP for the bad info.

I'm going to edit my post so my bad info I received doesn't carry on further.
