One of my white Silkies looks a little different than the others, is she a frizzle silkie? Her flight feathers are curling out now that they're starting to come in. She also has very long feathers on her wings (which stick straight out) and has always been a bit fuzzier than the rest. Last picture is a different chick with normal feathers to compare.

The breeder who sold this batch to me does breed frizzles, curious if one got mixed in!

Thanks for any help identifying!

Looks like it could be a sizzle, but I would give it a little more time to be sure. A couple of weeks, probably. If the feathers continue to grow out like that then you can be pretty certain. But it won't show much with Silkies except in the wings and tail feathers.

I thought I would give you an update! The chick did appear to be a sizzle, wings are much more turned out now. Cute chick, can't wait to see how it looks as an adult!
