Americana Mix

I have this pretty girl and she doesn’t seem to have any comb. I’m just wondering if it will turn red as she matures like my other chickens or no. I’m new to this chicken thing this is my first flock.

Once she gets closer to laying age, the comb should redden up quite a bit. She’s still young, and most young pullets don’t get red combs until Point Of Lay (POL)

Well, she surely is a pretty girlie! I am officially jealous, lol! How old is she? Welcome to BYC! Come here often!

Thank you. I got another pullet when I got her who is younger then her and her's is already getting red but she has a pea comb.

Thank you! I wanted an all black chicken and fell in love with her. She even has little feathered feet. I'm not exactly sure how she is. I have had her for about 4 weeks and got her from the local 4h they had all the chicks and pullets together ranging from a week old to 12 weeks old. The pictures below are of when I got her I was guessing some where 6 to 10 weeks. Her little white companion in the one photo is already getting redness in her comb.

With those lightly feathered legs...perhaps you have yourself an Olive Egger (Ameraucana crossed with a French Marans) Very lovely pullet indeed!
Some of my crosses had that darker colored blackish comb. It does redden up some as they mature.

I think she is going to. The 4h had a mix of Amerucana, Cuckoo Maran, Bantam Cochin and more.
