Buttercup comb on Olive Egger backcross chick?

[pipdzipdnreadytogo]

I count horn combs as a buttercup variety

Buttercup is allelic with, but recessive to duplex V. Duplex V is the allele D^v, while buttercup is the allele D^c.

As I said, I know the difference but I count horn combs as a type of buttercup comb

They are different alleles that express in differing ways, so I guess to me it's still worth noting those differences when puzzling out what is going on with the chick in question

It's just so weird! I kinda love it!

Do you have any history with any V-combed breeds in your flock?

I have two Polish hens but I have never hatched their eggs... I tried to last spring but they weren't fertilized so I did bother trying this spring.

Interesting... Definitely keep us updated as the little one grows!

Help me come up with a good name for him!
