hold up here, on pic #1 people are saying Dominique hen but that is no rose comb. The EE and the GLW have rose combs. The #1 hen has a number of points on her comb, almost looks like two rows (not sure what kind of comb you call that). I can't say what #1 is but I can say that I doubt it's a Dominique unless Doms have a different type of rose comb than other breeds.

OK, I know that roos have a much more prominent rose comb but I always thought the hen's combs were much smaller. I'm just starting in Wyandottes and I've never seen a comb like that on a hen. Do Dominique hens have those large combs? If so I can't imagine what the roo would look like!

The size of the comb depended on the breed. There is large rosecomb-egg layer breeds : Hamburg, Ancona(rose & single ), Leghorn(rose & single ), Minorca(rose & single ), medium rose comb in Dominique, Rhode Island(rose & single ), Rhode Island white, Dorking (rose & single ) and Little at Wyandottes, Barbu d'Anvers.
