Is this Easter Egger Chick a Frizzle?

These babies are just five days old, but I have heard some BYCers say that can spot a frizzle this early.

I hatched them from shipped eggs that came from an Easter Egger pen that has a couple of frizzle roos in it. I have notice that the wing feathers on these chicks look different.
-Stormfly, the chipmunk chick, has wing feathers that lay flat against the body.
-Heather, the dark chick, has wing feathers that curve outward.

Is this an indication that Heather is a frizzle?

Thanks for any input you can give.

Thanks so much for your reply! I've never had an Easter Egger or a frizzle, so I'm very excited about all this. I'll keep watching those feathers.

 

Now, two of them are looking frizzled to me!

 

Thank you!! I love these little fuzzies. Hope one is a pullet.

 

Congratulations! I am new to both frizzles and Easter Eggers, but from what I understand, Easter Eggers cannot be reliably sexed by the wing-feather method. It's a specific genetic link that shows up in certain breeds, in lines that have that specific fast-vs-slow feathering gene. Using that method, I thought I had identified two Brahma pullets, and those turned out to be the boys!

My EEs are 3 weeks old, and they are keeping me guessing! I've heard that some EEs have no wattles at all, and right now, there are no combs yet, either! The only things I have to go on are the size of the legs, and behaviour... but now I learn that pullets can fight and chest-bump, too. Keep me posted on your frizzles.
