rose comb

Hi, this is Raven. I got her as an Orpington but she has this different comb and is a bit smaller than my other Orpingtons. Does she look like any specific breed or does anyone have a suggestion of what kind of mix she is? I have some chicks from her and I want to be accurate when I offer...

I have a 12 week old Lavender Wyandotte -or is she an Orpington? (The feed store sign was inconclusive 😁) Emmilou has the weirdest comb and curly feathers. It could be a rose comb - which all my other Wyandottes seemed to have but it has this wee little nub and is otherwise flat? Is this a...

I have three pairs of Nankin Bantams up for discussion. Two pairs single comb, 1 pair RC cockerel with SC pullet all hatched mid-June 2022. Nankins are a true bantam, with no large-fowl counterpart. As such, they were widely used to create most of today's bantam chicken breeds. In the breeding...

Does anyone know what breed this is? Edit: 8 weeks old, not quite 9 weeks yet

Hi! We have twelve chicks. We know one is definitely a rooster, but trying to understand if there are any others. Can someone help me figure out HOW to tell a rooster among the different styles of combs? Here is a picture of my Splash Laced Red Wyandotte. 5 weeks old. Rose comb? How can you...

How big do rose combs get? These girls are 16 weeks old and one has a huge comb and wattles compared to the other one. Hers are also much brighter red. I don’t see much on this site about rose combs, so I’m wondering how large they actually get? I know typically 6 months is point of laying...

Hello! I’ve been fixated on whether or not my pair of SLWs are roosters since the beginning. To that end, I have weekly photos (missing weeks 3&4), which might be interesting/helpful, even if you can’t help me with sexing my birds. Note: They do have enormous red combs & wattles. I grant...

Hi All! So a few weeks ago we bought two straight run lavender wyandottes from TSC. Sadly the other chick died a few days ago (possible cocci so we’re treating all the chicks with corid)😭. I was hoping that one of the two we got were female. So just for fun what are your thoughts on this little...

Here some pics of them I took today.... I only have 4 left of my ones from @simonerol, but I don't even know if they're mine (ones I hatched from my two) or if they are from her, because I didn't band them or anything (dumb move on my part :(). A few died, a few disappeared, but I was able to...

I bought two mixed bantam chicks in may and Rosie, the little yellow one just started to lay, I have no idea what she is ! She has blue legs with some feathers there. She also has a rose comb and a more ‘square ‘ or boxy head. I think my other one is some kind of light Sussex cross but I’m not...

Hello! I've found myself in possession of a trio of quail watermaal as the founders of my first breeding project. I have a hen with great coloring, but 5 spikes on her comb as well as it being a bit large and a rooster with mediocre coloring but he's got a nice rose comb with 3 spikes. The...

I have a small mixed flock of five hens. Two of which are wyandottes. One is golden laced and the other is silver laced. Both birds seem to be healthy, but our silver laced has a weird, kinda stumpy comb. She doesn't get bullied for it, (as we also have a dark cornish, which has no comb) but I'm...

New Thread -- :celebrate We need this thread to discuss the challenges, successes and subtleties we encounter as we pursue these genetics. We're here to talk about all the facets of improving our stock. The Moonshiner had just put up some beautiful Rose Comb Isabel picts and there are some...

I have 6 pullets that are 17 & 18 weeks old. All are nice size girls. Two (1 & 2 pictured) have small but noticeable combs, one (#3) has a pea comb but it is so dark that it is barely noticable. Three have flat rose combs (I think) but not much redness to the combs, although their wattles...
