Can someone educate me on the different combs?

[Jessika]

I have yet to learn the different combs. Does anyone have pictures to explain? I figured I would look to the experts....after a few Google searches and some conflicting info I think I have some of it down...but I am still vague in a few areas. Is there a thread around here I am missing that explains this?

Are you trying to identify a particular chicken?

 

[Jessika]

ya....I was told they are black rosecombs but they have little ridges on their head...like a single com I guess...

they still may be rosecombs, as they will produce single comb offspring.

Click on the link in my signature for my comb page.

I have tons of great comb information on my BYC page.

They are so young. I am sure if you give them more time they will probably come out rosecombed. I was having difficulty with my silkies combs too, but I think I am getting it now. I thought it was a single, but now I think its a walnut.

Thats a good page, it puts my worries to rest now. I still think its hard to tell when they are young though.
