Is this normal?

[New2thisJJ]

I noticed one of hens comb looked like it was missing, note I’ve noticed another! No blood or anything and upon closer inspection it looks sucked in or shrunk…. They’re not acting funny or out of the normal… anybody have any ideas? Two different birds both between 6-4 months old

The Wyandotte has a rose comb, and the EE has more of a pea comb - totally normal.

What’s a rose comb? And what’s EE mean? Both had larger red combs just days ago… the wyandottes sister has a larger red comb as well

Really just wanting to make sure my hens are healthy!

That definitely looks like an injury. Have you noticed any pecking by other chickens?

The Wyandotte is one of the older chickens and does more of the pecking… the other is younger and does get pecked at some… I have a Sussex and another hen that are on the bottom of the pecking order

Like I said though, no blood or anything, no scabbing… they aren’t scared or acting any different at all

Do an on site search on 'comb types'. Both combs are completely normal for the breeds involved. There is no injury involved. EE are Easter Eggers.

Are Easter Eggers and Americana’s the same thing? That’s what she’s supposed to be

'Americana' is a name some hatcheries use for EE basically to dupe folks into thinking they are getting Ameraucanas - purebred birds.
