can I see picttures of frizzle chicks?

[hoppy]

does anyone have pictures (I'm sure they do) of frizzle chicks. I have a 3 week old chick that shouldn't be frizzle but it has mussed up feathering, like it's over crowded but it's in a large cage with 3 others so plenty of room. it's not a breed I see listed on here as frizzled ever but I have seen an adult of this breed frizzled but it's not common from what I'm seeing. so before say where I got the egg, i'd like to see if it may or may not be frizzled.
thanks

oh wow that is so pretty is it the same one in both pics?

No, the first is solid black. The mottled start out with white chickdown and become more black. In their adult years they get whiter again.

well they sure are pretty

Here is a video of them as adults:

That is not frizzling--not sure what it is, but it is definitely not a good thing. I would guess it's one of these:

From http://www.edelras.nl/chickengenetics/mutations2.html

The following mutations diminish feather quality (eg, feathers prone to breakages, etc).
(source: Poultry Breeding & Genetics).

1. Fray (fr) - autosomal recessive (affects mostly wing flights & tail feathers)
2. Flightless (F1) - autosomal dominant (affects mostly wing flights & tail feathers)
3. Alopecia - autosomal recessive (affects mostly remiges & rectrices)
4. Dysplastiv remiges (dr) - (affects remiges & rectrices, -extreme cases wing coverts)
5. Hypoplasia of tail feathers (Hy) - autosomal dominant (affects tail feathers, resembles rumplessness, but vertebrae normal) Found in Ingie Fowl.
6. Matted Down - polygenic trait
7. Ragged Wing (rw) - autosomal recessive (affects wing flights)
8. Porcupine (pc) - autosomal recessive (spiny quills)
9. Ropy (ropy) - autosomal recessive (sticky down, adults - large wing feathers, sometimes body feathers - roughness)
10. Stringy (st) - recessive (down feathers stringy, very high mortality rate)
11. String-2 (st-2) - autosomal recessive (down sticky, adults - most barbules were absent from wing & tail feathers)
12. Sunsuit (sn) - autosomal recessive (down wiry & sticky, adults - extremities bare of feathers, body better covered)
13. Wiry (wi) - autosomal recessive (down sticky & lacked barbs on distal halves. Adults - mostly wiry barbs of wing flights & tail feathers).
14. Wooly (wo) - autosomal recessive (shortened down- semi-naked, slick shiny feet. Adults - feathers abnormal in structure, rough & incomplete).
15. Wing Patch - expression limited to males, may possibly be linked to the lavender locus.​

figures, the only maran I hatch is defective and with the price of eggs, makes this a very expensive one at that.
