Welsummer Roo's Comb (photo)

Just how big do their combs get?? I knew their wattles grew really long.

He's 19 weeks old and I can't see it getting much bigger without flopping over.

BIG COMB! on a verry handsome boy!

Love that Comb and Waddle...

He looks like he's going to make a great protector...

What a Dapper Gent!!!

He has finally learned to be more of a gentleman around the ladies. Last week I thought we were going to have to cage him because he was so rough.

Thanks for the compliment E...stay away from those snakes!!

ETA: I did just see a picture on the poultryprincess website of a Welly roo with a flopped over comb and very long wattles.

Wow! What a beautiful rooster.

Combs should never flop over and if I had a roo like that, I would not use him for breeding.

I was just going to say I wouldn't use him for breeding either.

It's not my roo!! No wonder that was the only photo I saw of a flopped comb.

I hope mine doesn't flop over either. Maybe I should superglue popsicle sticks on each side?

KIDDING!
