Hi Everyone!
I have 8 wk old chickies: 2 EEs, 1 GLW, 1 Standard Cochin. Everyone except the cochin seems to have dry combs. The cochin is also the only with the little bumpies, the rest have rather flat combs so far. Is it a result of wind and weather (we're in WI, it's been in the 40s/50s during the day and they have a heat lamp in a snuggly warm coop at night) OR is it just the difference between the breeds? Is there any thing I should do or should I stop mothering them?
Thanks in advance!
