Comb on silkie roosters

[henney penny]

Could someone please post a close up picture of what a walnut comb should look like on a silkie rooster and the correct mulberry color.

This boy has a very nice comb, IMO. The darker the comb the better.

What kind of comb is this?

A mixup of straight or pea and mulberry basically. Sometimes happens in crosses even many generations down the line.

We call that a chewed bubble gum comb.

Now, now, I've heard people refer to proper walnut combs as looking like a wad of bubble gum

Silly people, do they REALLY want silkies with single combs?

most compare silkie combs with chewed gum, I do too, its a perfect analogy. lol

Don't know what you'd call it, but he definately has a single comb gene thrown in there somewhere - its a hybrid comb, not quite pea or walnut nor quite a single comb either.
