I found this pic while I was googling silkies just now.. is this a normal comb for a roo?? It seems HUGE!!! As if it isn't hard enough for them to see with all that hair...
No, that comb is not normal. I don't think the hair is the reason he can't see. I wonder what's wrong with that comb. ETA: It says this on the web site "A Good View of a Silkie Male's Cushion Comb and White / Blue Earlobes Photo taken at the UK's National Poultry Show, Feb 07." above the picture. Maybe the UK does it different, but I've never seen a silkie comb like that before and hope I never do! heh
that is not a pretty sight-- maybe a silkie turkey- almost looks like he has wattles too--- wonder what the UK standards are? and where to find out
kinda thought it was a bean bag chair at first....... poor roo, well i love all siklies and think they're all beautiful, besides its not his fault, that being said...............................
By the looks of it, that bird is probably from the UK. Many of their silkie roosters look like this, although the comb on this boy does seem a bit large..
