Chick Breed

Do Sebright combs look like straight combs when they are chicks? Or do hatchery Sebrights sometimes have straight combs? Thanks.
Hatchery Sebrights often have single combs because the rose comb varieties are less fertile. Then the hatcheries use single comb birds for reproduction. So, yes, some purebred Sebrights can have single combs, especially if they're from a hatchery.

Thank you! I bought two chicks from a "mixed bantam" bin to keep a single hatched chick company at home, when the next hatch was a week away. I was hoping it was a Sebright, but the comb threw me. The wing droop, shape and coloring all screamed Sebright. :)
