Poultry
breeds photos: The Rosecomb
The Rosecomb is one of the oldest British breeds, an excellent
specimin perhaps embodies all the selective breeding lavished
on the native bantam over many years. Rosecombs are small and
cobby but sprightly and males have one sweeping curve from neck
to tail. Their head features make them particularly striking,
but they are not easy to preserve for show as their combs easily
become scratched and scarred and their lobes blistered. The black
variety is particularly popular, followed by white, and blue versions,
although a further number of additional colours are beginning
to appear.
