Wyandottes are supposed to have rose combs.I've been reading this thread for about an hour now and I'm new to Wyandotte. I have 3 pullets I bought as chics. What is the comb issue you've mentioned?
Thanks a bunch! Really helps clear up my question. My pullets are only about 5 weeks old and they don't have very much of a comb at all yet so. Again thanks and I'll definitely be watching closely to see if they have a rose or single comb.Wyandottes are supposed to have rose combs.
Several people have mentioned that their chicks have single combs.
That is truly odd, because a single comb on a Wyandotte chick means more than just a little oops. It means a bunch of breeding with who knows what.
A rose comb, genetically, is from two rose comb genes, one from dad and one from mom. To get a single comb, they need to have ZERO rose comb genes.
If they have a single rose comb gene, instead of two, they would still have a rose comb, but often the rose comb is a bit messier and not as neat and tidy.
You can tell even at hatch.Thanks a bunch! Really helps clear up my question. My pullets are only about 5 weeks old and they don't have very much of a comb at all yet so. Again thanks and I'll definitely be watching closely to see if they have a rose or single comb.
I can't see the combs on the second 2 photos,but the first photo is a clear rose comb.Got these as chics and I've been told they are Wyandotte. Any idea if they are Columbian Wyandotte or could they be a diff breed of Wyandotte? All 3 look slightly diff in one way or another. One in particular is much smaller than the other two and has darker yellow on its head.
