Yeah I know Guru :cry:

Im wondering how the Buttercup comb would look on my Australorps tho :biggrin:

Hey newbie is the Buttercup the only one that has that type of comb? It very unusual.

Cheers,
Michelle

No I wouldnt call it the right comb but more a Redcap comb,that has a leader on it.

Sorry to be a pain newbie but whats a leader please?

newbie · **Posted:** Fri Jan 23, 2009 8:36 pm

The leader on this bird is the long skinny antenna like thingy sticking out the back of the comb

Rita,

In the photo below, the leader is the pointy end of the comb, it "leads the way" back over the head to the right.

Thats a wyandotte with a rose comb.

So I will cut the leader off then it will be a Buttercup
