What characterizes a "Strawberry comb"?

A "Strawberry comb" is characterized by being low and wide, with a smooth surface and a position set well forward on the head of the bird. This type of comb resembles the shape of a strawberry, which is why it bears that name. Its design is specifically adapted to suit certain breeds of poultry, contributing both to the breed's aesthetics and to its functionality.

The smooth surface of the comb is not only a visual trait but can also have practical implications in terms of how the bird regulates temperature. A well-formed strawberry comb helps to demonstrate good breed characteristics during competitions in poultry shows.
