    Comb Contest - V! - Winner Announced!

    This is Sam, twin to Ella, she is 7 mos and a cross between blue barred cochin and a sultan. These 2 hens were our surprise when we hatched the last eggs our sultan hen laid before she died. We didn't know the rooster had reached breeding age, he was only about 4 mos old.

    Bless his heart. How could anyone be so mean spirited to do something like cutting off a roosters comb or harming them in any way.. I guess I will never understand the nature of some people.
