Comb identifying

[whatbeginsabetnotthat]

Hey everyone!! I just got an Easter Egger cockerel yesterday and am trying to figure out what comb he has. I will attach photos. I’m thinking rose comb, but it looks a little small. Then again that could be because he’s not reached full size. Thanks for all your help!!

Looks like a rose comb to me.

Also, does anyone know what age roosters/cockerels become aggressive?

They don't always. Some never do. There is no hard and fast rule. I have seen tiny chicks show aggression. But hormones start to kick in usually between three and four months of age, sometimes you'll see it then esp if there are females around, or multiple males. There's no hard and fast rule.

He has a pea comb but carries a single comb gene, which makes the middle row taller. Genetically P/p+
I like to call that type of comb a pingle comb, but unfortunately that name isn't yet accepted by science, so you can call it a pea comb, it you like.

I was reading your other post about a pingle comb and was really hoping that’s what it was!! I love the name pingle and am forever going to call it that! Thank you for your contributions to chicken genetics and science
