We ordered 10 pullets from Mt. Healthy hatchery in January. 2 each of Buff Orpington, Lavendar Orpington, Silver Laced Wyandotte, Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, and Gold Laced Wyandotte.
I know that Orps have straight combs, Wyandotte the rose comb.
However...
I have a "Gold Laced" with a straight comb (pics 1 and 2). Her Gold is definitely redder than her supposed same-variety sister, who is in the last photo, and who has the correct rose comb.
Any ideas what exactly the straight comb girl is?

Sometimes hatchery stock can have incorrect combs. What color are the legs? Wyandotte have yellow, Orpington have pink or white legs. They both look like Wyandotte to me.

Wyandotte. Sometimes they end up with Single combs.
