Chicken book I just listed on Ebay if anyone is interested -

[Kelly G]

The book is Extraordinary Chickens - beautiful book with tons of gorgeous pictures and a little information on many of the breeds we all love here.

I'm raising money for my next chick purchase

Your wyandotte, is very pretty. But I thought that they would have a rosecomb? Possible rock? Any bigger full body pics?

BTW - glad that you got your book sold.

You are exactly right! I ordered two Silver Laced Wyandottes last year from a commercial hatchery...so the true quality is just not there. The other SLW does have a rose come, and this one did not.


Here's the other one:

...and for comparison, here's a bigger picture of Sister without the rosecomb:

Last year when I noticed the diference in the two combs, I posted asking if this single comb was possible. Once person said that "it can happen" but I really feel like it's because they are hatchery chicks...not from nice show stock.


Thanks, again
