I see this thread is very old but is anyone willing to comment on black Astrolop photos?

I want to attach a photo and get advise. Why would this astrolop have A ''triple" comb?

 

[ColtHandorf]

Because it isn't an Australorp. I would need better pictures to even hazard a guess as to what the bird is mixed with but from this angle it looks like it carries its body like a Wyandotte. The rose comb certainly screams Wyandotte. And there is gold leakage around the hackles of the bird.

Yes, I agree there is a mix. I hatched it as an "Astrolop" from a neighbour.
