Frizzle (chicken)
A Frizzle is a type of chicken with feathers that curl outwards, rather than laying flat as in most chickens. While many consider the Frizzle to be an entirely separate breed, chickens from all breeds may have a frizzled appearance. As a result of its unusual look, Frizzles are primarily exhibition birds, and are included in the Standard of Perfection.
