regarding silkies and frizzles

[bkreugar]

I have a few questions about silkies and frizzles.

I read here that silkies were the NEVER sexed at the hatchery and were always straight run.

I got a few different kinds of chicks that were ALL hatched on the 10th.I got them at the feed store so don't know what hatchery but they added my order in.

I ASKED for 6 straight run silkie and got 6 one died.One white I am very pleaed with the other 4 look like they will have a decent amount of hard feathering I ~think~.I guess this is normal for hatchery quality.Right?

Now regarding the frizzles.I ASKED for and they said I GOT 4 frizzle pullets.But aren't they related TO silkie so do they sex them?I ask because as I said I have 4 and 2 hve MUCH larger combs and waddles and these 2 already do the chest bumping thing and I SWEAR it looks like they are already raising what would be hackle feathers although they don't look like hackes ~yet~.

ANy thoughts?
