Okay thank you I was thinking it was a rooster but I’ve never seen a comb like that one

@Brahma Chicken5000 ?

Definitely a rooster. I didn't even look at the comb to decide that. I looked for the pointed saddle feathers. Although, when I went back and looked, it seemed to me that that comb may have some frostbite damage.

Satsumadori have very tight pea combs. I need a full body shot of this guy to attempt to make an accurate id

The comb is a pea comb that is heterozygous, ie only one gene for pea, the other for straight comb. Thus he is most likely a cross as pure breds would have homozygous combs. He looks to be black breasted red which is a common rooster type in many breeds. Here is some info on the genetics of chicken combs http://articles.extension.org/pages...or-small-and-backyard-flocks:-an-introduction A homo pea comb is tight and has three lines of bumps, but when they get crossed with a straight comb bird the comb gets larger and floppy. Since I am sure he is a cross it is hard to say of what. Looks like a lot of our crosses, many who have 7 or 8 breeds in there lines. Looks like he might have some game in his genetics.

Looks more like he was in a fight as the damage is spotty, but it could be he is recovering from frostbite.

Thank you for your help, I didn’t know chickens could get frostbite. Is there a way to help it?
