single comb BLRW

[turtleblossom]

One can get rid of single combs, simple dimple..... one cannot however find nice typey wyandottes around every corner. wink

Knowing whose birds the OP was posting about I think I'd sooner have the 20% single combs, than 100% rose comb on possibly less nice birds.wink

I totally agree. My birds already have some nice type showing, and the comb is really secondary.

I may take you up on that offer, I will PM you when I decide. The chickies are really healthy, and growing fast.
However, due to some things beyond my control, I have lost 3 chicks along the way (these things happen). One died at two days old, one at two weeks, and I just lost one of the largest ones a few days ago (they all piled up in their house on one of those hot hot days). Then I had two chicks that mysteriously got an infected toe that had to be amputated. That wasn't cheap, but worth it.
So out of the original 25, I have 16 that may be show prospects (yes, in the AOV category).

I sincerely hope that you don't think I am complaining, I just wanted to give you a quick update.

No I dont think your complaining....but you may be one of those "bad luck girls", did you ever make a voodoo woman from Baton Rouge mad at you?

I dont mind if you need 5 more rose comb BLRW chicks, just email or call me. I went out to my growout pens today looked through my BLRW and I could only find two single combs out of about 75 BLRW's in those pens...but I did find a little roo with a wry tail. Weird stuff pops up now in then and we try our best to make it go away by culling it....I still get a buff colored blrw now and then, but over all I am very happy with the type, color and yes even the combs this year...honestly the type is crazy good this year.
