Leghorns come in BOTH Straight and RC. These colors are not admitted to the APA but would probably be admitted in both comb types.

Yep!

They just are not as popular as the single comb variety.

They should be for the frost bite! Those combs are CRAZY HUGE and the wattles don't help either.

@DMRippy

Could you tell me (or send me a pm) with the prices of the SC Millie Leghorns, and the RC splits... I take it they are all splits? All will hatch out brown, and bred to each other I will have Isabelles next year?

I agree, so much nicer to not have to worry about frostbite.

Crazy enough, I have three old production White leghorn ladies, and because their giant combs fold over, they do get chill blains on the fold part every winter, but they have not lost any comb, not at all! and come summer time they look fine. I still feel bad for them, so have been making sure I only get tiny combed chickens, but your millie tempt me, since I love that color/pattern.

I wish I had a rose comb or pea comb something that I could stick over them, but the "chicken genetic" calculator says that Millie Fleur is recessive to everything... So I would end up with splits, and have lots of work to breed them back, blah, blah, blah.
