Golden laced wyondotte pullet?

[cmom]

agreed, pullet... with an incorrect single comb... and she has plenty of wattles.

Wyandotts have Rose Combs not Single Combs.

I raise Rhode Island Whites which also have Rose Combs. Rarely but I have gotten a single combed chick in the past but not in many years.

I know... that's why I said it was an incorrect single comb. Some hatchery wyandottes will have them, because hatcheries throw in other breeds occasionally to increase egg production. Its almost common in hatchery wyandottes to see single combs. Its not correct, but it does happen.

Interesting, I still don't even believe it.

Is it because it's a single comb that it is growing faster?
Mine at 4 months don't have any comb yet, I thought for sure that was a Cockerel.

What don't you believe?
The single comb is just more obvious. A rose comb, which is correct for the breed, lays flat and doesn't have the 'classic' points like a single comb. This is, without a doubt a pullet. Here's a gold laced Wyandotte, in proper rose comb, for reference. Also, by now, if she was male, she would have very obvious male saddle feathers, which she does not.

Well she IS young still you think she’ll grow them? She’s like 17/18 weeks old

LOL No... She's going to have that single comb her whole life. Its just her breeding. I just wouldn't use her for a breeding program is all. She'll still lay nice brown eggs, still be a member of the flock. The others won't care that she's got a single comb over their rose combs.

If your asking if she'll ever grow a rose comb, no. She'll always have the straight comb. It's no problem though, she'll still be gorgeous
