Houdan's butterfly comb

[Anonymous__]

I am working on a breeding project and want to incorporate butterfly combs from Houdans into it. I've looked at a lot of places and found the US SOP of Houndans have a V-comb while other places' SOP explain Houdans have a butterfly comb. Where can I find someone selling any eggs or chicks from butterfly comb chickens? Also, Would you have any suggestions for other breeds that have a butterfly (not buttercup) comb? Any site names or alternative suggestions (though really I hope to find a good stock of butterfly comb Houdans)? Also, how would making the butterfly comb work/ how was it created and what did it originate from?

Never heard of a butterfly comb. Only thing that would be anything butterfly looking would more then likely be a Buttercup comb.

Here are some examples for reference of what I'm looking for, butterfly combs go diagonally outward whereas buttercup combs are much more pointier and go upward in a cup type of shape. I am trying to find some chickens, chicks, or eggs from chickens that look like the ones in the photos.

I was just looking at pictures, & honestly they look the same. I think the only difference is the Houdan's is based on a carnation comb, rather then regular single comb.

This is a buttercup comb, it stays connected and has a lot more and narrower spikes unlike the buttercup comb.

I just explained the difference in appearance.

I just wanted to go more indepth and include a visual reference.

The same Duplex gene is responsible for both combs, just one is based on regular single comb(Buttercup), & the other is carnation comb based(Butterfly).

I was already looking at pictures.

It was for anyone viewing the thread and didn't want to click off; a faster and easier visual. Would you happen to know any places that are selling any butterfly comb chickens or know how the butterfly comb came to be (such as crosses between other combs)?
