Title: Lopped comb
Post by: Lindsay Helton on February 01, 2021, 09:55:59 PM
One disqualification we need to watch for in our Ameraucanas while breeding them towards the standard is a lopped comb, which is a comb that falls over to one side.

Thank you to the owner of this splash wheaten cockerel for letting me use her photo for this educational post.

An American Poultry Association Standard of Perfection book, which goes into full detail on the breed standard, the recognized color varieties as well as defects and disqualifications in poultry can be purchased at the following link:
