I am not the brightest person in the world. I got my box of chicks from the postoffice this morning and was so excited! So I came home and put them all under the light and they are doing great! Then it hits me! I ordered 20 silkies and 20 Frizzles, my friend gets half. I mixed them all up! They are all together! Can anyone give me tips on how to tell them apart? They are two days old and all colors. I can't post pics, am too new.
Thanks for any advice!

that's great! I can tell now! And the Frizzles are just frizzle bantams. Is that what you mean? I am just learning all this.
 
The silkies will have 5 toes, black skin and a crest. They will also have "hair-like" feathers. The frizzles (probably frizzled Cochins) will have feathers that all turn outwards towards the head. If they are Cochins they will only have 4 toes and yellow skin. Post up some pics, it should be easy to tell them apart :)
