I have two frizzle bantams chicks I received with a shipment of various other bantams (all are a bit over 2 weeks old). I've noticed that the other breeds are now feathering out nicely except for the two frizzles. They only have the wing feathers and bitty little tails. I believe they are both roo's due to the dominant up-front personalities they have. Do frizzles generally take longer? Please see pictures:

Well, these are my first frizzles, so feel better that it is probably just the way they are. They look a good week behind the others to me.
 
Mine took longer to feather out, then ran around for a while with almost no back feathers, so if they get naked backs till six or eight weeks, don't worry, they will eventually come in.
