X2Buff Orpington pullet.

Will her comb stay small like that ( rose comb) or will it get bigger. I have 3 golden comets same age as her 19 weeks and they are much bigger. The nursery I got it from said they weren’t carrying buffsHi there, welcome to BYC!
I agree she appears to be a lovely buff Orpington pullet.. not yet close to laying according to comb and wattle development. Maybe another month or so.![]()
Looks like a straight comb to me. Stores often aren't sure what was sent from the hatchery and they were mistaken. All of her characteristic are inline with the standard of perfection for BO.Will her comb stay small like that ( rose comb) or will it get bigger.

My other 3 chickens are golden comets ( which this buff was suppose to be) we got our first egg 6 days ago but was broke. Nothing since. Is this common?Looks like a straight comb to me.

Her comet sisters are sex links and should mature much earlier than she does. But they she will still lay all her eggs just later into life.. Orps are notoriously slower to mature. Here is pic from google that is approximately how she will fill in as she gets close to laying.. (which might be delayed with daylight diminishing as lay hormones are light driven)
