Stating the name of the breeder may violate BYC rules....and open another can of worms. It may be best to send a PM with that info.

Do you have a close-up pic of that bird's comb? It looks like it may have a straight comb.
I got some eggs from a breeder in OH and at least two of the birds wound up having a SC. The comb is still small but I can tell there's no way it's going to be a peacomb so I've got to get rid of all these birds now from this breeder because I just have no way of knowing what they might actually have. I'm wondering if maybe we got some from the same person?
God Bless,
He is pea headed.

How common is it for a buckeye to have a single comb? Doesn't it sometimes happen?

It can pop up, especially when crossing lines, I'm told. It happens because of their heritage, mostly Single Combed birds. Any Buckeye with a Single Combs are culls. Its a recessive gene.

It does indeed happen. Some years, as Punky says, you'll see a lot after crossing a new line in. Cull them hard, (sell, eat, whatever) and it should go away. But never use one for breeding, no matter how spectacular a bird it is in other regards.
The single comb has been in there for decades, just have to be vigilant in keeping it from being replicated. One year I had all the offspring from one pen showing up with it, and once I culled the male it went away (although obviously at least one hen was a carrier.) This year I didn't see a single chick with it.
One more reason why I won't ship hatching eggs any more...

I am learning about Buckeyes, but, the roos pictured for sure look like game bred to me, they'd sell well in the Philippines.
These that Robin posted sure look good to me.
