Black wyandotte

[lveillion]

We purchased hatching eggs from a breeder for black bantam wyandottes. Can someone please tell me if this pullet is SOP? These are our first wyandottes and I’m thrown off by legs and comb.

What do you see wrong with the comb?

This is the UKs sop, assuming you're in the us, if you can find the Australian sop, that would be better.

I just felt like it should’ve been brighter red?

Color is based on lay cycle, hormones, health etc, and can vary from bird to bird.

There is a little too much pigment in the comb, the duskiness on the legs is acceptable. A good Wyandotte should have a more firm, triangular tail tent, though. The main tail feathers are too round and soft and they should be stiff to give a tent-shaped appearance from the back. A common fault in Wyandottes. She's not bad though.
