So for the combs, you have to get really close (with your reading or magnifying glass maybe even) and if you see little tiny spikes in a row, that is a “straight comb.” If you see little bumps like peas (or sometimes looks more like wrinkles/ridges when babies), that is a pea comb. If it is wider and flatter, more just a little wedge-shaped bald spot, that is likely a future rose comb.Thanks for sharing your experience. I really can’t tell about the pea combs but definitely no blue/black/slate legs. I did a lot of research before getting started but I still don’t understand how to identify some of the features at all. The “is this a hen or too” posts are completely baffling to me because I can’t tell AT ALL
Never had a baby chick with a walnut comb, so not sure how that one looks.
Not the very best photo, but the gray chick has a pea comb and the yellow has a straight comb - it is almost entirely buried in the floof at this age though. But you can barely see the row of little spikes in that crease on her forehead. I can see if I can get a better photo later, or feel free to post ones of your chicks.
They were about 5-6 days old here I think.
