Wyandotte (pullet) comb style

[Lor]

I've read wyandottes have rose combs. Not exactly sure what that means.
2 of my wyandottes have a flat area where a comb should be. Or at least one does, hard to tell with Thistle the runt. One of them has a comb you can see. It sticks up a bit.
Is this normal? When will the combs grow? Anyone have pictures of their wyandotte combs you would like to share?

Google rosecomb or comb types, it's hard to explain with out pictures

There are a few different styles of combs. Depending on the breed, chickens have different types of combs.

The chicken in your PFP has a single comb. The one in my PFP has a rose.

I looked. I see now what a rose comb looks like. Appears they can be different sizes. I think my chicks are too young to tell what the combs will look like.
I plan to get a closer look tomorrow because it seems one doesn't have a comb..

My Wyandottes have rose combs, They look like someone chewed a piece of red gum for a while and stuck in on top the chicken's head.

This was a cockerel at 2 1/2 months.

This is Lucy now deceased. Neighbor's dog killed her.

Even on day old chicks you can usually tell if they have a single comb vs another type.
