Curled feathers on (what I was told) Barred Plymouth Rock Chickens

[Crazychicklady43002]

Hey guys I'm new to the chicken world!!!! I have purchased these two Barred Plymouth Rocks (there 18 days old as of today) one of them has some pretty weird feathering going on and her color pattern is different from her little friends. Can someone educate me please!!!!!!!!!

Is she a Barred Plymouth Rock? She looked exactly like all the other Barred Rocks up untill she started to get her feathers now she seems more blackish grey than anything.

I have no clue if barred Plymouth rocks come in frizzle. Where did she come from?

I've never had a frizzle, but my understanding is that any breed can be a frizzle, if crossed with a frizzle, both standard sized and bantams. This thread has pictures of a chick from a "Red frizzle rooster", breed unknown, crossed with a barred rock hen, looks very much like yours.

She came from a very small local feed store, who only sale local chicks (what the tell the public anyways) she was with the other little chick pictured with her. They both had the white tops on their heads. The Ben said barred Plymouth Rock and the other chicks they were selling were Barnevelders and leghorns. The barred rocks were the only black ones with white spots on heads.

If she were to be a Bantam would she be the size of the other chicks or smaller? Right now I have four chicks all 18 days old two Barnevelders and two Barred Rocks there all the same size.

I'm not going to lie. When I first noticed her feathering I panicked and though she was sick.
