My GLW has a single comb...

Ok. I admit, I am new at this, but I thought Golden Laced, and all other Wyandottes, have rose combs.

Two of my three chicks have little buds which I am sure will someday be beautiful rose combs. One little girl has a single comb just like the Buffs, Barred Rocks, and RIRs.

Is it normal in the breed to have this?
Is this poor breeding from the hatchery?

It's quite common, actually. Wyandottes have some Cochin ancestry so on occasion, one will pop up with a single comb. I had one SLW with a single.
Some breeders actually keep single combed birds on purpose to combat fertility issues.
