. Which are lovely by the way. 
Random thought crossed my mind looking at the Pita and Pintos. Which are lovely by the way.
When I first started looking into chicken I absolutely had to get ones without big combs. I thought they were really ugly. Now I actually like some of those perfect tall big red combs and wattles.
Still however, I don't care for the wattles that do go halfway down their chest. For some reason they remind me if a pair of really saggy......, oh never mind.
Anyway.........Now I seem to have become less fond of the really big brain looking combs. Is that a walnut comb or something? I know I have heard it before.
Anyone feel that way or is it just me?
I bet they are! My buff has done some fake broodiness puffing up and kinda growling but she never sits in the nest. She's huge and fluffy bet she could sit on a dozen eggs lol instead of my Aseel broody who can only do 6 eggs.I happen to have two broody Buff Orps; nearly four year old Buffy hatched 2 chicks 3 days ago, and Punkin is currently in the wicker cat bed nest under the incubator table in the office on her second set of eggs. (She's the one who went broody in the dog bed in the living room.)
Really bad locations to get good photographs on my iPhone.
Buffy hatched my very first GrandChick, Samantha, in July 2010. Buffy was not the egg mother, just the surrogate.
Samantha is an EE and is currently molting. She has never gone broody, nor did her EE egg-mother Rebecca (and Carl's favorite).
But BOs with chicks are THE most adorable sights in the yard!

The ones I have down here at Fair (finally get to go home tomorrow night) are Pekins and Runners. I do have some young calls at home though hatched from my birds. Are you looking for calls?

Actually there is a walnut comb, silkies have them. A rose comb has a spike at the back.
Polish have a weird forked comb too, it's just hidden in their crest.
DH took my macaw eggs home yesterday and put them in the incubator. I can barely wait the next few days until I can candle them! The hen will probably lay another tonight!
