Sizzle week old chicks

[HarmonHatchery]

We just hatched a run of pure silkie eggs and frizzled Cochin bantam/silkie cross eggs last week. Chicks are 1.5 week old, doing great. We do not know who is who and need a reference for the breeds. Does anyone have reference pictures of a 1-2 week old silkie chick and silkie/frizzle cross? Thanks!

You can try posting some photos of the chicks and see if anyone can help.

Wow this will be tricky. They look like pure silkies! You may not be able to tell until the feathers start coming in (frizzled vs silkie feathering). They are so cute!

Thank you!

Just wondering if you ended up with any sizzles in your little brood? I have six that are just a week old, and other than one definitely smooth feathered (feathers look like a non-Silkie chicken) they all look about the same to me. At first I was discouraged, but I’m wondering if I will see more difference in the feathers in a week or so.
