Frizzly, or Slow to Feather?

Penguin @ 5 Weeks
Little Penguin is not feathering like the others. It has a few wayward wing feathers that curl out, and it's tail feathers are growing in oddly, but the other feathers look kind of normal. The secondary feathers on the wing are taking a very long time...looks pathetic compared to the others. No bald spots, though. Frizzle? Double Frizzle? I don't know. His feathers are not soft like the other cochins. Emerging comb and wattles are looking pinky-roo. Head feathers look pointed and blackish-white. Wing feathers are black with brownish tips. Maybe a birchen? Photos below @ 4 weeks.
