Cochin Bantams and Frizzle Cochin Bantams!!

[CCCCCCCCHICKENS]

Hi Newbie here.    Just a quick question.  At what age can you tell if a chick is going to be frizzled???
I have some babies that are just starting to show wings and the are sort of turned up and out
Might be "angel wings" but I doubt that since there are 3 of them....it's not that common.
I have no idea the parents.
I have raised a lot of chicks but this is not normal..to me.  Course I usually have Silkies.....
Any help will be greatly appreciated.  I'll try and get a pic
Thanks, Cheryl

Anywhere from a few days old to a week or so

Here is a pic of one of the chicks with what looks like odd feathers to me


I forgot to mention that they have feathered legs and feet This shows the way they curl back and out.



And curl up at the same time. Think they could be Frizzles? They are bantam.

I'll tell you what if they ARE frizzled that would make me extremely happY.

I have hunted for Frizzled banty chickens everywhere that I could possible drive to, even eggs would have been fine, but no luck.
I want to give them to my very good friend, and wanted to surprise her, she wants some sooooo bad!!!

I want to find some for her!
Looks like I might have surprised myself, I pray so.
I just have three of them, two Buff and a Black that SORT of looks like this though not as much.
Thanks for the help, now I will be on pins and needles till it grows up some more.

I usually about where the down off them looking at them anyhow. They live in my office at home and are constantly being looked at.
I just love them, I also have some Calico Cochin banties and they [poor things] are beginning to ignore me I am there so much.

So great you want to help out your friend!!!
I just got some Cochin chicks. They're really little, but all chicks are so small at a day old or so that it's hard for me to tell what's a banty and what's a LF.
I'm also on pins and needles to see if the chicks I have are frizzled or not. I'm hoping for a smooth roo. =)
All the best to you in your frizzle adventures!!!

Good luck with the chicks! I just got 3 little hens (gold partridge, millefleur & red mottled) and they laid 2 eggs for me the day i got them! Only had some cockerels before, these little ladies are already so tame, and ive only had them for under 2 days!

I just checked out some pictures online and it looks like I probably have splash and/or buff.
I wish I could know more certainly; I guess I should have known that I didn't have what TSC said they were selling. :\
