No comb?

[Bebynicole]

For the three you posted:

One has a rose comb.
One has a bigger rose comb.
One has a single comb. That is the kind that stands up with points on the top.

So they all have combs, just not all the kind you were expecting.


That is what I was thinking too.
The rose combs are correct for that breed, while the one with a single comb has the "wrong" comb for a Wyandotte (which does happen sometimes).

I was thinking rose with the second one for sure, just never actually had one. This is a new breed to me. After talking with my mom who got them either they are gold laced orpingtons or they sent the wrong breed.

I think that the one in the middle picture might be a Wyandotte.

Is this what your chicks look like? @Bebynicole ?

Those are not black Australorp, they are not black. Different breeds have different combs. Some show early, some don't. It will be interesting to see how they grow out.

She was telling me austalorps, I've never had one. I just talked to her again and apparently she ordered orpingtons. This is going to interesting to see them get older. Apparently gold laced orpingtons is a thing

All three are gold laced wyandottes your second one is a cockerel

All pullets.

Orpingtons do not have rose combs so they are not orps they are hatchery quality wyandottes

They aren't australorps, where did she get them?

 

[nuthatched]

All pullets.

Why do you think that?

With single combs, maybe Orpingtons. Check the foot color-- should be white for Orpingtons, yellow for Wyandottes.

With rose combs, they are absolutely not Orpingtons. Orpingtons have single combs, no exceptions.

Because of how the genes work, a rose comb breed will sometimes produce chicks with single combs. But a single comb breed will never produce chicks with rose combs.
