Rose comb in hens

[SmiYa0126]

Hello! Can hens have rose combs? I looked through the combs articles, but alot of them weren't fully grown, so I want 100% clear. Thank you!

Thank you! Are there any pictures from chick to pullet of what they look like?

Here are my girls with rose combs. I had a hard time finding any pics, also, of young chickens with rose combs. I had to ask on her if that’s what these were and I’ve been told they’re indeed rose combs!

Thank you so much!!!!

No problems, hope this helped! Can’t wait to see what their rose combs look like as adults.

Do you think it's possible some of my new chicks are hens? I saw the bumpy comb and thought they were mostly boys.

Just looking at those pictures I think it’s a bit early to tell. I’ve read that rose combs are a bit wonky to judge gender by vs a straight comb chicky. I’m newer to chickens, but I do agree with what others are saying in your other thread about being a bit early to tell. I will say my rose comb girls started to turn red and grow their waddles before my straight comb girls did.
