To Frizzle or Not to Frizzle

Our take

Are you caught in a feathered frenzy, wondering whether your lovely silkies are frizzles or straight feathers? You're not alone! As you admire your straight run silkies, including the standout frizzle named Olive, you’re faced with the delightful confusion of identifying their feather types. With your keen eye on the blue and chocolate mottled silkies, it’s a cluck-tastic journey to determine who’s who in the flock. The concern about keeping roosters and the frazzle risk adds another layer to your feathered adventure. Fear not! Let’s dive into the whimsical world of silkies together and unravel the mysteries of feather types, ensuring you can embrace your feathered friends—frizzle or not—without a single worry in sight!

I have some lovely straight run silkies I got a while ago. Probably around 7 weeks now give or take. I have an obvious frizzle but I am hoping I have some regular silkies as well. I WANT to keep any roosters I have but don't want them frizzle do to frazzle risk. So. Any insight as to who is a frizzle and who isn't?

The last one is my OBVIOUS frizzle. So you better be a pullet, Olive .... but I'm really confused as to my other two. The blue I can't tell if he's normal silkie or frizzle silkie. And the second chocolate mottled is ....well .... not like Olive but not entirely smooth feathered. so ....IDK. Wickett is my first satin silkie so I'm not entirely sure if that's just how their feathers grow out.

The First 2 pictured are Blue. The second two are Wickett. And third is obvious Olive for comparison.
