what type of combs do they have?

I will try this weekend to get some pics for you showing the combs!

So could be Andalusians, or Orpingtons ... a friend also suggested Wyandottes.

Here are some different combs, Wyandottes have rose combs while Orps and Andalusians have single combs.

Here are some of the better pics of the combs I could get

I can't tell very well from the picture but they look like single combs. I will stick with them being either Orpingtons or Andalusians, the two breeds look similar when they are chicks. At 10 weeks the differences should be clearer, Orps are heavier bodied and their butt feathers look more poofier than an Andalusian. Andalusians are slimmer and skinnier their whit earlobes develop over time.

Thanks!

I believe they are going to be single combs! I'll look forward to seeing what they grow into in the next few weeks.

They are getting bigger ..... I just took some new photos:

I think this might be a Lavender Splash Arucauna

Here's my Silkie .... like black color. Roo or Hen? I'm thinking Roo. (No crowing yet, but look at the tail feather - compared to my other silkie this one has feathers).

Here are the blue and lavender ones .... I'm not sure what they are? Appear to be getting single combs, some lacing in the colors. Orpingtons had been mentioned, but I'm not sure they are the right body size. Andalusians - I'm not seeing white ears as of yet - so I'm not sure that's what they are. So ... I'm back to thinking Wyandottes.

Any ideas?
