Hello there once again! I have these 3 silkie chicks hatched from my own eggs and this frizzled(?) Ayam cemani- looking to find some info!

Firstly, I wanted to know what the silly silkies will look like grown up. Their dad was a mostly black silkie and their mom was a buff - wondering if that orange will continue to grow! (Their all orange!) I was also wondering if this is common since I've heard buff typically gets overridden? Will move this to genetics if need be, but also wanted to ask about the Ayam cemani!
(Pictures of parent birds provided)

The Ayam cemani is frizzled, but I really want to know if she's frazzled. I have no information on the sellers Ayam cemani pen - it was a random listing of assorted rare breeds. I want to know if there's any special accommodations I might need to make for her during winter, or if she needs to be separated and so forth if she is frazzled. She has patchy spots of skin that are slightly fuzzed but not enough that it hides her skin.

Thank you for the help!
(Edited: changed sizzle to frazzle)

Your roosters is actually a dark blue with leakage rather then a black. The chicks are blue with leakage and black with leakage, as Amer said they will mosst likely show a lot more orange as they mature.

The Cemani looks frizzle to me and just slow to develop. The frazzles I have seen typically have a tighter curl to the feathers

Your Cemani looks like a normal frizzle so far… I don’t know what accommodations frizzled chickens need though.
Typically buff crossed with black will produce a mixture of black and orange like this. However, since your male is already lacking some melanizers they may be even more orange.View attachment 3636094

Thanks you two! I'll have to update with the Ayam Cemani in another week or two when she's almost fully feathered, just to see more opinions on that to make sure!

Also can't wait for the silkies to grow up, I feel like they'll be some pretty birds!

Have a nice evening!
