Mohawk??? Comb? Tumor?

[CCowart07]

Meet MoMo. This 6 week old chick was purchased from TSC as a pullet “sapphire olive egger.” In the picture at tsc, the chick did not have weird hard feathers, but just look at that Mohawk man!!! Is this normal!!! Is this a roo with his comb stuck under his skin? Is it a tumor? Thanks in advance for your opinions!

It's a crest - just a tuft of feathers - nothing to worry about.

The sapphire olive eggers have crested cream legbar in them. Gives the crest you see, it will change in appearance some as the chick grows! Love the punk rock look it has now though!
