Why has her comb folded over?

I also like it when a large comb flops over, "giving them character" as mentioned above.

It's perfectly normal for many breeds. Here's my Rhoda in her beauty shot, looking oh! so chic!

Cool I didn't know about the feet

Thank you all so much for the replies! I was hoping the comb was okay, just worring for nothing. Since I've got Gurty I wondered what breed as I was sure she wasn't a Columbian Wyanotte.

Evelle & Gryeyes - thank you for the pics ! Pictures say a thousand words!

She looks like my Columbian Rock Cross. I do have a brown leghorn whose comb is so big it folded like that!

All but one of my 10 Barred rocks have either a crooked comb or a folded one. No problems that I've ever seen.

I thought Delawares had black on their wing tips? Mine does (from Meyer Hatchery)

Dutchess, where did you get Gurt from? Whatever her genetic background, she's very pretty.

Thank you WoodlandWoman (I like your user name!) she's quite a girl. She never misses treat time, as you can surely tell. She is a bit bigger than my other girls.
I got her from a very nice girl in Wells, Maine. She told me they all came from McMurray's. I think it was one of those "brown egg layers" combination of breeds sold as one-day chicks. When she sold them she said they were at POL. Well, they didn't lay until around two months after they came home with me. She sincerely thought Gurty was a Columbian Wyandotte.
