Flicked out wing feathers on SLW?

[CluckyForChookies]

Hello It's been a while since I've been online but we have a few little baby silver laced wyandottes that we purchased as day olds to pop under a broody hen when they eggs we had under her didn't hatch. She rejected them so now we are handraising then but I want to ask if it is normal for their wing feathers to be flicking out like the attached photo. We haven't had any chicks this young before except for the one that did manage to hatch under the hen - and that one is a unknown mix out of mums coop but definitely has smooth wing feathers. I'm just wondering if we have ended up with a frizzle? Do SLW come in a frizzle variation? Or are they unwell? I've tried googling without much success. Probably using the wrong terminology haha. Thank you to it any advice

I am not experienced with SLW.
How many chicks did you purchase?

We just bought the 3. We had 4 eggs that we pinched from my mum (with the roosters) to put under the 2 broody hens we had. Only 1 egg hatched though so we bought 3 chicks so both hens could mother a couple of chicks. They did not follow the plan however, and now they are happily co-parenting their chick and the SLWs are in the house haha.

That’s cool, they look frizzled. Keep us updated.

haha! Chickens seem to have a mind of their own and their personalities can be quite stubborn too.

Some "better" photos out in their day brooder. It's 30 degrees plus here during the day so I figured no point in keeping them in the house!

And they have heat right? 30 degrees is cold.

30 degrees might be Celsius as the OP is in Brisbane Australia and it's late spring or early summer there.
