Could this be a Double Frizzle??

[lurky]

seriously, I know

You wanna see what the poor thing looked like when i found her?

She was in well below freezing temps, outside, hatching babies last October

One baby had frozen to death by the time i arrived. She had blood on her face from the 2 roosters as she was the only hen. She was covered in mites too. I am treating her like a QUEEN!!!!!!!!!

Oh my, the poor thing. She is very lucky you came along. She looks great now!

Maybe it's just the camera angle but is she blind in that eye? poor thing, it's good you got to her in time! shes so pretty!

 

[lurky]

No she is not blind, thats Just the flash. She had some frost bite too.
She is not in with the flock, i did not want her to have to deal with the pecking order.
She and 2 mille fleur get the entire yard to themselves with no boys

I have a red frizzle hen nearly identical to the one in lurky's picture. I am thinking she may be a double frizzle also after reading about them and seeing her curly feathers. I actually named mine Curly. My other frizzle hen and a frizzle rooster that I recently sold just did not look the same as Curly. She even has a few bald spots, though you really have to look close to see them. Yours could be like her. He is still a cute little roo.

I didn't see the "before" picture of lurky's hen until after I posted. Poor baby! I'm glad she found a better home. The "after" picture where she has her feathers is the one I was referring to when I said she looks like my hen named Curly. I had to get used to looking at poor Curly at first, but I have become quite attached to her. She is a sweet girl and very docile.
