Afternoon all. Hope everyone is having a great day.
As promised, here are pics of that unusual comb from our last hatch.
Here's the lineage:
Maternal greatgrandhen-Leghorn single comb
Maternal greatgrandroo-EE with pea comb
Grandhen was white with random black feather-pea comb, blue egg
Grandroo-Appenzeller Spitzhauben-v comb
Mother-black and white partridge feathering, v comb
Roo-malines single comb OR black EE came in looking wheaten- pea comb OR black Isbar single comb.
Any ideas? Looks like combo single/buttercup.
Thanks

Oh it's pretty! There re a couple of pics of chicks with buttercup combs, looks very similar.

that's coming from the Spitz. When you cross a horned breed like the spitz to a single combed breed you will get a partial butter cup comb.

That really is very cute! Bet we would all be hard pressed to do that on purpose.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I couldn't figure this one out because I have 3 chicks from this mom. I single, one pea and the fellow pictured above.
I know now the Roo was my black Isbar.
Thanks again.
Will update with pics as this one grows.
