My Australorp just started laying a few weeks ago, and her comb isn't large at all. (Not like my Leghorns) For the big combs, put Vaseline on them to prevent frostbite.
I refuse to have a flock w/out my Wyandottes ! They are cold hardy, have small combs, are dual-purpose, docile, and lay pretty good sized eggs. They also come is just about every color you can imagine ! The ones I have are Silver Laced, Blue, Gold and Silver laced bantam (mother was gold laced, father was silver laced), and a Blue Laced Red. Hopefully I will be getting more this spring from the breeder. She's working on Buff Laced Reds.
My Buff Orpington pullet is about 6 months old and huge ! Maybe I should get a couple more like her.
