Ancona with a rose comb?

[chrissynemetz]

I rescued this little lady a few weeks ago. Her owner had said she was an Ancona, but her comb is wrong. She does lay pretty large white eggs, but the comb throws me. Could it just be a hatchery quirk, or is this a different breed altogether?

Anconas can be single combed or rose combed.

Wow! I've never heard of a rose combed variety, and have definitely never seen one before. I learned something new!

Yep, the APA recognizes both.
