ilovechickens Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Sorry if this seems a silly question but.... As some of you may know, with the aid of a broody hen we hatched out two chicks in January. The chicks were the product of a gold silkie mum and a lavender araucana dad and have grown into lovely blacky/reddy chicks (I'm sure there is a proper name for their colour!) however why do they have serrated combs? unlike daddy who has a pea(?)comb. can someone explain genetics to me!!
