A couple chicks I’m curious about

[Alexandra33]

Breeds?

#1 and #2 appear to be Easter Eggers. Does #3 have a pea comb?

Too young to tell. Post pics of the comb at 6 weeks.

How do you tell comb at such a young age?

How do you tell comb at such a young age?

Sometimes it's necessary to part the down in order to get a decent view.

Single combs will appear rigidly serrated. Sharp points can spotted immediately.

Pea combs are smoother, and often faintly "bumpy."

Rose combs appear wide, completely smooth (though sometimes there's a small bump located at the base of the comb, indicating a future point), and wedge-shaped.

Hope that helped a little!
