She is speckled sussex but small comb

[Toi-toi]

I bought 6 speckled sussex last May.
One of them has very small comb. Others have normal size.
The chicken on the pic, Kyururu, her comb is that size since she was 18weeks or so.
Some of them had small comb but when they are laying eggs, their comb got bigger and bright red.
Kyururu is laying eggs but her comb stay small.

Is she mix with other breed???

I doubt she's a mix. She just has a small comb. Just like any other animal, you'll have variations within a breed. Those variations could be differences in size, color, hair/feather growth, etc. She looks like a normal, healthy Speckled Sussex to me.

She's just not as well endowed as the other girls.

It's okay - I'm sure just like men, some roosters prefer big combed girls, and some prefer small combed girls. She's quite pretty, no matter what her comb size.

Yep, Shes an SS and its kinda typical for hatchery SS to have small combes.
