floppy comb

[Gray Farms]

Well, it has Naked Neck in its genetics, or is all Naked Neck. I looked up Naked Neck in the APA breed book for Standard of Perfection. APA is American Poultry Association. There are European versions of standards as well, and they can differ from the American standards.

According to the book, the comb on a Naked Neck is “single, medium size, set firmly on head thick at base, straight and upright, with five evenly serrated points. Those at the front and rear shorter than those in the middle; blade slightly following contour of skull.”


Of course, yours may have other genetics causing the comb to fall over.

Excellent info. Thanks, I didn't have my standard book with me to give the full description.

Your correct. Her comb does not fit the standard.

You are in Croatia, so not sure if standards where you are would be different. But having 2 different combs on M/F isn’t going to get a consistent offspring. Were you wanting pure naked necks? Do you raise chickens for meat, for eggs, for selling chicks?

Hadn't noticed that. APA standard won't apply then.

Why floppy comb?

Floppy combs are cute! I like how they make the bird looks silly, LOL!
