Wyandotte combs?

Campines are white egg layers and have single combs.


Wyandottes are brown egg layers and have rose combs.

Campines seem to have different feathering patterns than GLWs.

I agree. And Ophelia looks exactly like I would expect a Wyandotte with a single comb to look

I have a lovely SLW girl with a single comb and two with the proper rose combs. Seems that about 1/3 of the ones Ideal sells have them. They have Cochin ancestry, hence the single comb popping up once in awhile. Here's my Lorelei:

Aw, thanks SeaChick! I think she's pretty too, but of course I'm biased.

She is beautiful, Amy. I even have a copy of an older Hobby Farms magazine about raising heritage chickens and right on the front cover is a GLW with a single comb.

The girl in the front center of the pic back on page 1 is indeed a golden campine. The one behind the campine is a dominique (note the rose comb) and you can see the GLW to the back right.

The Campines are SUPPOSED to lay white eggs - I wouldn't know since they are almost 22 weeks old and no eggs yet...but I'm not bitter....

Thanks, Cynthia! That's pretty neat. It doesn't bother me in the least that Ophelia has a single comb; in fact, I think it's kind of cool.

She is an excellent layer...she lays almost every day, only rarely taking a break. If I wanted chicks, she'd be the one I'd try to get them from for that reason alone.
