Black Bantam Cochin...is this Frizzled?

If both parents were definitely smooth feathered birds then, he can't be a frizzle Maybe his baby feathers are just a little strange.

There is such a thing as a natural mutation, which is how it starts in the first place, if it isn't introduced to the breed by using a breed with the existing mutation.

Not common but not uncommon either. You can't bet on it, but it happens. Like my wonder of getting a demelanized black in a bunch of bbs birds. It's weird. It happens. I got blue, black, splash and one demelanized black. Nature loves a sport.

That is very true. I have also had babies start coming in like frizzles and ended up smooth...so, I guess it's a wait and see

I do not think you have a frizzle cochin.Yours looks the same as my 2 that I ordered from the hatchery and it is just funky baby feathering. Guess we will all see but that is what I think.

Thats why I posted extra pics. The fethers are sticking out away from the body, the tips are curled but the main part of the feather is straiter. However, they wont lay against the body normally. We will have to see what he decides to be!

Either way he is as cute as a button!!
