Uncover the best-kept secret of chickens in this Chapter #5 of our Basic Poultry Genetics Course. Chicken combs are far more than just a simple ornament: they are the key to their survival and adaptation! In this video, we reveal the fascinating history behind these fleshy structures and how they've evolved to allow chickens to thrive in the planet's most extreme climates.

You'll learn about the most common comb types (single comb, rose comb, pea comb, walnut comb, cushion comb, V-comb, strawberry comb) and their direct relationship to climate adaptation. Did you know a small comb protects against extreme cold and a large one helps dissipate heat in warm climates? We'll show you famous chicken breeds like the Leghorn, Wyandotte, Brahma, Araucana, and Orpington, and how their comb shape makes them unique.

But that's not all. Chicken health is reflected in their comb: learn to interpret its colors and changes to detect issues like chicken diseases (fowl pox, coryza), comb frostbite, or deficiencies. Furthermore, you'll understand the crucial role of the comb in coop hierarchy and the reproduction of chickens and roosters.

And the most exciting part: we'll dive into comb genetics! Discover how just a couple of master genes control the final shape of this incredible structure, allowing chicken breeders to mold new varieties throughout history. If you're passionate about poultry farming, poultry management, and want to optimize chicken care for better egg production, this video is for you!
