Is my Silkie Hannah really Harold? New to the chook scene.

For their puffs I was thinking pullet, although the combs don't quite look "walnut". Congrats with your eggs

I'm not sure on the comb? It looks like a little flower

Oh, that's a much nicer picture. That's a single comb. Which, as you've just found out, means that this bird is probably a pullet. [EDT: Since it's fairly small for a single comb.] If she had a walnut comb that size, I'd be amazed that she isn't a cockerel. (Female walnut combs tend towards pretty small)

Just saying this; that's against breed standard, so if you went to a show, she'd be disqualified. They're supposed to have Walnut combs.

No it doesn't look quite walnut. I'm not sure what type of comb she has still?

Thanks so much for the Info. Always good to know.

Well, they may be considered poor quality by breed standards, but I think they're absolutely adorable!

 

[drumstick diva]

I've never seen a comb like that.

Thanks. My kids are pretty excited and I think they're cute.

A handsome cockerel.
