I got these babies from the Tractor Supply bantam bin on Tuesday, and at first I thought they were Polishes. However, they have a different comb. I have white crested blue and black Polishes and they have a V comb that looks flat at this age. The combs on these chicks has ridges kind of like a straight comb, but their comb is higher and kind of flops to the side. I've been searching the internet for crested breeds and have had no luck figuring it out. I asked on the Facebook chicken group and everyone guessed they were Polishes but I don't know how that's possible with the different comb type. I have 3 of them, 2 that look like they're white and one that looks like a buff. The wings have a darker color like a silver laced or golden laced. They are clean legged and have 4 toes. If anyone can identify these chicks for me I'd really appreciate it, it's driving me crazy because I can usually always figure it out.

Well they really look like polish but the combs confusing. Maybe spitzhauben?

I looked up the info for Spitzhauben but they also have a V comb. I read that the Houdan can have a leaf or butterfly comb so I was thinking they were possibly that but then I learned Houdans have 5 toes, and these guys have 4. I'm hoping someone on here will know what they are.
