Can someone give me the 411 on combs?

[possumhunter]

I'm trying to see what the different combs look like and tried searching the topic but came up empty-handed. Is there a thread that I've missed? Or would anyone be willing to post some pictures of the different styles? I have RIR's & silkies, so I am familiar with a walnut comb and the single comb, but I don't know what a pea comb or rose comb looks like. Are they any others?

Thanks!

Awesome! One more question...can you tell me what breeds they are too? I'm still trying to learn all those...the second one looks like a maran?

Sumatras have pea combs and Wyandottes have rose combs.
I don't have any good picture of my Sumatra or my Wyandotte combs to share with you, sorry!

LOL...I thought those were the names of the birds

Obviously shows how much I have to learn. I've never even heard of Buckeye's!

Thanks!

They are a great breed. Very friendly, cold hardy, great foragers, decent layers, and they make a fabulous meat bird at 20 weeks. They are my favorite breed.

It is not hard to find this info, search "chicken comb types" many of us look at feathersite to compare pictures of the different breeds.
