Frizzled chick?

[sgtamber]

I recently got four new chicks to add to our small flock. I got 2 black sex-linked, 1 barred, and 1 orpington. They all came from TSC.
The orpington's wing feathers are curling upwards. From the information I've gathered, she could be a frizzled chick. I've attached a pic so take a look and tell me what you think.

Is there anything I need to be aware of as far as her care is concerned? I live in the south. Our winters are mild and summers are hot.
Thanks in advance!

Is there anything I need to be aware of as far as her care is concerned? Care is the same as a smooth feathered chicken.I live in the south. Our winters are mild and summers are hot.
Thanks in advance!
A couple of my frizzled serama.

Just remember frizzle can't fly so they need either low roosts, or roosts that get progressively higher so they can get to the hight they like.
We have two white frizzle bantam Cochins and it's looking like out of our 13 new bantam Cochins, at least 7 of them are frizzled.

Thanks for the info!! The tip about them not being able to fly is especially helpful.
All of your chickens are so pretty. I'm looking forward to watching my frizzle grow. It's exciting.

does it have feathered feet? If so it's probably a red bantam cochin frizzle.

 

[homeschoolin momma]

Frizzle yes, not 100% convinced its an orpington. As stated above, feathered feet it could be a cochin.

 

[sgtamber]

You guys are right! She has feathered feet. That explains her small size. I've always loved feather footed chickens.
Do I need to worry about her small size with the other chickens? I have Easter eggers, barred, and black sex-link chickens.

From what I have read they might pick on her due to both size and feathering but less so if they are raised together. I had frizzles raised with standards and they got along fine but I don't know if it would be ok if they didn't grow up together.
