Is she frizzled?

[Cloverr39]

I was given some silkie eggs as a refund, because the previous batch only hatched 2 chicks. In with the silkie eggs they threw in 1 random bantam cochin. This little one is around 12 days old. The feathers seem to curve upwards. Is this little chick a frizzle? That would be an interesting this to add to my flock if she'll be a pullet.

I've also heard bantam cochins can be sexed at around 2 weeks by comb, wing and tail growth. If that's the case, should I make a post here when she'll be 2 weeks old? Being able to sex a chick younger than 8 weeks is something I'm not used to, as I've only had silkies for 2 years now.

I'll post better pictures later today.

She does not currently appear frizzled.

No frizzle. I have 2 blue Cochin Bantams that have feathers that stick away from their bodies. If you get a frizzle, youll know its a frizzle.

This little cutie does not appear to be frizzled. Too early for gender ID.

So are you saying the feathers will straighten out as she grows? Or will they always stay like that?

Sure looks like a frizzle to me but I am not an expert on them.

She looks pretty frizzled to me. Isn't this what frizzles look like?

I am new to frizzles, too! But I would think that was a frizzle!

It appears to be one, I have looked at lots of frizzles and it could definitely be one.
