Yes, and the comb appears to be very light pink in color. I would expect more comb development than that on a 7-week old cockerel.
She's pretty, by the way. Where did you get her?

I have seen others receive mottled chicks like you. They're either extras of another breed or not pure, so I wouldn't add them to any breeding program.
That has me a little concerned since I only purchased Isbar chicks and the extra (according to the shipping invoice) is also an Isbar.
I am new to Isbars. I went to pick up my first few chicks the other day and was surprised to see the variation of chicks in the brooder. The breeder is reputable and the chicks were 1st generation off Greenfire Farms stock. I would like to go back and pick up some more chicks at their next hatch, but I want to be more prepared. Does anyone have any pictures of what the various color chicks look like and what they feather out to. I will get some pics of my birds tomorrow to ask the opinion of the group. Also is there any "trick" to guessing what color a chick will be when grown. I love the splash coloring, mottled seems like it would be pretty but sounds like it is frowned upon. The blue and black would speak for themselves if the chicks were solid colors.
Thanks for you input.
