    Genetic advantage of single over pea comb

    I know for a fact that the two females I have are over a year, maybe more, and they have lived in my area (not my property) all their lives. The person I got them from gets his stock from Turkey as well. But I am glad yours do well

    Since the brahma coop is one of my most well-ventilated ones, it's shady day round, and as mentioned before has cool water for them, I'm inclined to believe it's not coop-related. Orpington and brahma crosses would produce modified peas, which as with the example of my male, cope a little better

    Genetic advantage of single over pea comb

    My brahmas don't do well in the heat at all. Even my modified pea comb male does slightly better, but there is a clear difference between them and some of my straight combed birds. The temperatures we had two, almost three weeks ago ranged from 42°C-46°C. The pea comb pen had to be hosed down...
