Tara123 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 The comb is the red or pink bit at the top of the chickens head above the beak. It gets noticeable redder just before the chicken comes into lay and while laying. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Watch Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 No question is daft on this forum. This is Stella the day I got her with her tiny little pink comb you can barely see at the top of her head. Terrible picture, but you can spot their bright red, big combs all 4 have now. The Miss Peppepot (on the left of pic) also has big red wattles (the bits hanging down under the chin so to speak) which my other girls don't have.
