Thank goodness the hen I used has a very nice comb so the comb is still large just "finer" if you can understand no list at all no wave nice big bird. I just test mated with him late spring I have a few girls picked out for him now can't wait for fall since he's from a hen who lays a 6 or 7 I'm hoping the pullets will lay nice eggs...maybe in 3-5 years I'll have some nice golden cuckoos if I can figure out how to get rid of those pesky white tail feathers that show up after they are a year old....first though I want the barnGreat to know. Question: is the comb size of the offspring the same as the cock birds, or smaller?
