Chick with no comb!

[KCkitten05]

This little one has no comb.. like at all! Never seen anything like this, and wanted to know if y'all have ever had this happen. It's an amerucana chick.

Where did it come from?
Amerucana's have a pea comb, muff and beard. The comb would not be that large to begin with. It will be interesting to see how that develops.

I have some Ameraucana chicks and their pea combs looked very small to nonexistent also when I first got them. They are about three weeks old now and their combs are just starting to fill out a little.

Interesting... I thought it was just a flatter comb until I zoomed in. Post photos as it develops so we can see how it turns out.

This is a peacomb pullet a little older. Still no comb

Curious too where you got the chicks @KCkitten05 ?
Do you have others with larger combs?

Could be a wyandotte type comb (cushion?)

I'll keep posting photos.. all the other chicks combs look normal.. I've hatched a lot of chicks and I've never seen this.

I bred my lavender amerucana to some of my hens (black copper marans and amerucana) incubated to hatch them. I'm doing my own little breeding project.
