ameraucana rooster?

Funky as is weird looking. Not quite correct for a pea comb, but not a single or rose comb either. It almost looks like a walnut comb.

My Easter Egger cockerel, with a correct pea comb for comparison. The Barred Rock has a single comb.

Phew...as long as he's looking ok otherwise, good to know. Thanks for the info. We'll see how he matures. Nice birds by the way!

Thanks! The black one in the back of that picture, decided to go broody today. She's only 7 months old.

Looks like a purebred Lavender Ameraucana rooster to me. His comb is a pea comb, just not a very good comb or a desireable shape when breeding for show. I've seen plenty of Ameraucanas with combs no better than his. If you're not showing or breeding for show, though, the comb doesn't matter. He's a lovely bird!

I agree. He definitely does not have a single comb as you stated in your first post. )
