I know that pure breed Rhode Island whites have a rose comb and that most hatcheries that sell them sell a single comb version. But when people always say that the single comb variety is “fake” and not the same breed it kind of irritates me. All chicken breeds are just a mix up of the same genetics to give you specific characteristics And that’s what gives you a breed, a group of chickens with very similar traits. Also rose comb breeds throw out single comb baby’s every once in a while so people could have got a single comb in the Rhode Island white and liked it more because it more closely resembled the more popular Rhode Island Red. That’s what I think I would appreciate to hear your thoughts. Thank you
