I emailed APA and asked them about the RIW with single comb.... This is what I ask ......
Will the APA ever accept single comb in the Rhode Island White chicken? Is the single comb a pure bred?
This was their answer...
Hello,
No, they will not be accepted and no, they are probably not pure bred if you have them with a single comb. They would have to have three differences to the RIR. Unfortunately
there is little interest in the White Rhode Island Whites with the proper comb.
