Crowing
I'll start by saying, I do not, nor have I ever owned any frizzled birds. No frizzled bird has ever come into contact with my flock, ever.
I hatched some eggs from my Easter Egger hen and rooster.
The chicks are 2.5 weeks old, and I'm noticing that one chick looks a bit different. It was the tail feathers that got my attention. They curve out, back towards the body. Then I started looking closer. The shoulder feathers flare out. The wing feathers curve upwards and point up towards the back. The neck feathers also curve. Is this a random mutation causing frizzling? Or is it something else?
