Has anyone had this and is it normal

[Flockking]

These guys are 2 out of 5 siblings from a half frizzle dad, which means he's frizzle didn't curl all the way to 100%
But at first these guys looked half frizzled like their dad but now with them developing more feathers they're starting to look normal but their tail and wing feathers remain frizzle
Is this normal or is it something they'd out grow

 

[ForFlocksSake]

Frizzling is a dominant trait. If they have it, it shows. They can't be 'half frizzled'. A homozygous frizzle is a frazzle, which is something to avoid.

That last sentence sounds like it’s straight out of a Dr. Suess book

I just see ragged feathers. They're not curled. Frizzles are very obvious from the first couple weeks

What do you think is the cause @fluffycrow

Could be sleeping in closed quarters, could be that he's young and he's not taking good care of his feathers, or he could be roughhousing too much with the others

Could call it shaggy, since this doesn't look like the typical frizzle. I did have a Cuckoo Marans hen one time that had some frizzle looking feathers in her hackles only, rest of the body smooth. The neck curles intensified when she molted.

Scraggly cockerel.

Yh that's how these guys where, incoming hackle and saddle feathers was curled but now normal
just the tail and wing that remains frizzle like

Their quarters is plenty spacious though they prefer to huddle together

I thought about the young aspect that probably they'd grow out of it

And yes they do rough house a lot
They are very mean and constantly bully my older hens
Now the 3 brothers do have serious fights amongst them selves and they're just 2 month old

 

[Flockking]

That sounds like a multitude of what my younger birds appeared like, which was caused merely by the rough-looking teenager stage.

Probably it's a phase
I hope they'd come out of it

I don't think the frizzle gene works that way. But I'm not an expert. @JacinLarkwell @NatJ . Do you have any photos of the dad? These guys look like scraggly cockerels to me
