Polish Frizzle (or frazzle?) not sure on age

Hi! I got this Polish Frizzle 4 weeks ago to add to my flock. They were in a brooder of mixed ages so I'm not exactly sure how old they are, but they were at least a few weeks old.

I'll share the pic when I first got them and then ones I took today. I've dubbed them Moira Rose because it seemed fitting, but I'm not actually sure if they're a pullet or Roo.

Also their feathers are quite odd compared to my Naked Neck frizzle chicks' frizzle feathers, who are a few weeks older and definitely roos.

So ideas if a pullet or Roo and if they're a regular frizzle or perhaps a frazzle or maybe a sizzle??

They both look like pullets

Frizzle- frizzled feathers. Single frizzle gene (what your polish are)

Sizzle- single frizzle gene on silkie feathers

Frazzle- double gened frizzle that have more curly feathers. Frazzles are the product of breeding two frizzles together. Never do this. You will get dead chicks in the shell, weak chicks that will die if they hatch or a very unhealthy adult bird.
If you end up with a male and female don’t breed them together.

Thanks! :D

I did know about the not breeding two frizzles together, just wasn't sure what she was. The people did also have silkies, so wasn't sure if that could possibly be why her feathers are so odd compared to my other frizzles.

Love her to bits no matter what. :)
