It's kind of a long story, but I was offered a week-old Frizzle chick by an aquaintance. Well, I was caught a little off guard, and without thinking much about it, and not really having much opportunity to ask questions, I said "I would LOVE a Frizzle!!". So I brought her home...she's adorable...all black (black skin, feathers, legs, beak, etc). She's the chick in my avatar, not a real good pic but I can post a new one. Anyways, I noticed she didn't have much fluff on her back, but now her back and neck are getting even more bare. Her small wing feathers are very definitely frizzled (or maybe curly?). I started reading more about Frizzles and realized the problems that can come from breeding Frizzles to Frizzles, and by looking at her, I'm thinking that's what happened.
So my question is...what do I do now? Her skin seems a little dry, but otherwise she seems healthy. She's very active and feisty, no problems eating or drinking, acting just like the other chicks. She is tiny...much smaller than them even though she's almost the same age. Is there any "special" things I should do for her, for her skin and/or feather issues? Special foods...more protein? More oils... I'm thinking Flax oil might help her skin?
