    Lavender Orpington - Frizzle?!

    I had never heard of shredding until this chick - only frizzle/ frazzle. Are there health or special concerns with this - or will she live a normal life? She is not part of a breeding program, just egg production. Thanks for any insight you may be able to share. I’ll check the web hive as well.
