5.5 week old SLW injury or no comb?

[Mishyk]

Is Sylvie's lack of comb normal? I don't any damaged tissue or injury but she doesn't have a comb forming like the others. I thought she had the beginnings of one a couple weeks back but now there isn't really anything there. Also attached a pic of flock mates for comparison.

Lol, that’s what they’re supposed to look like! It’ll turn into a real comb once she’s old enough, but not one of those spikey ones (Single combs). She has a “rose” comb.

Yeah, don't worry, that's perfectly normal. She just has a different type of comb.

I can tell you care a lot about your chickens!

Here’s a pair of chicks with rose combs, like yours.

X2! Lots of attention to detail there. Totally fine to not know, we’re all learners!

Well I kinda compare her to her flockmate Glory Gold aka Goldie the GLW. They are the same age and I guess in my head should be developing at the same rate.

I love them to bits.

Side those two are the same breed, their combs should be the same....can you post pics of Glory Gold?
