Hi everyone. I am new to the chicken world. So much to learn. I am worried about one of my chickens. She is smaller then the others, more skittish and her feathers are seem to be developing later then the rest. Plus they look curly or scraggly at the tips. I tried googling and all that comes up is the frizzle breed, but only some of her feathers are curly and she does not look like a drizzle to me. Could she be sick? Thank you for your help in advance. I have attached a pic I took of her this morning.

What breed? As long as she eats and drinks and doesn’t get picked on too much then she’s good. No need to worry. Just wait a couple weeks and see if they straighten up and plump up!

Thank you. I am so embarrassed, but I don’t know what breed. I purchased them at tractor supply and I am so new to the chicken world I thought the sign that said Pullets was the breed. 🤦🏻‍♀️ When realized what Pullets meant I called tractor supply to ask the breed and they couldn’t confirm. Lol. I have learned so much since then.
