One more time… frizzle of not?

[Bantamama8]

I bought this baby about 2.5 weeks ago. It was in the Polish/Silkie bin. It looks frizzle to me. What do you all think? Thanks!

I've never had a frizzle before so I don't know for sure, but it kind of looks like its feathers are curling up. I hear that a Polish and a satin makes a frizzle. Satin is Silkie X Cochin. You won't know for sure until the chick is older.

You need a bird that has a frizzle gene to make another frizzle. It is a dominant gene so either the bird has it or it doesn’t. One of the parents had to be frizzled.
It looks like a Silkie that just has some rough feathering coming in. Can you get a close-up photo of the wings spread out a bit?
How many toes does this little cutie have?

A Satin is usually 90% Silkie or more and looks like a Silkie except for the smooth feathering. Cochins are usually used to introduce the smooth feathering but not normally called a Satin until the 6th or 7th generation.

It doesn't look like a frizzle to me.
