[stargazingmommy]

I posted previously about this chicks odd posture and wings.
I was able to finally get some decent pics that show what I mean.
This is the chick we didn't expect to live. here it is, 2 wks later, and still alive and growing.











*EDIT FOR NEW PIC*

Not quite so ugly...any guess as to gender?

It's a frizzle, that's why the feathers are curling.

He's cute! Maybe his body will catch up with those long legs and he'll be a real beauty.

I did grab the poor thigns wing last night and pull it straight out, it didn't seem to have any defects that would make it look like he had angel wing(can chickens get this also). I hadn't thought about frizzle. I've been more concerned with his/her posture, he seems very top heavy and tips to the front if he's not careful.

so last night I was holding this little pathetic thing, and I noticed that it's feathers are actually pretty smooth...not curly like I would expect from a frizzle...They just stick up all over.
