Buttercup comb with leghorn father 🤔

[Isyovi]

In a previous post i asked some of you why my 'leghorns' had a crest on their heads. I got a couple of comments saying that they were not 100% leghorns and there could be a chance the mother could be a white crested blue polish. Now they are older, they have a buttercup comb and i think no blue polish has it. What could they really be?

I’d say Polish Leghorn mixes. They look more like V combs or mixed combs

Thanks for your opinion! I don't understand a single thing about genetics so i appreciate every guess i get

I agree. Actually they are striking looking birds.

Those are no way100 percent leghorn. Leghorns have single combs. That is a buttercup comb. Not sure what breed it could be though

I'm personally not familiar about what breeds are most likely in the Netherlands. They do possibly look similar to Swedish Flower Hens however. Do you know if you have Caumont in colors other than black? They're a French breed with buttercup combs.

I think they have caumonts in other colors. Both the breeds look kind of alike but the flowerhorn has only one comb and the caumont has broader tail feathers

We know the father is a black and white leghorn for sure, but we don't know about the mother

Thanks for your opinion! Someone else said they kind of looked like legbars too i like to hear what everyone is thinking
