Dominant Pea Comb? Is this a pea comb? Ameraucana x leghorn

[Wiljam09]

The cross is Ameraucana Roo x white leghorn (Hoovers). This cross was intended to re-create the SBEL. I expected all pea combs and that’s what he has produced so far. Wanted to share this pic of 3-4 week old, typical color white with a few black specks but this comb looks suspicious. Either a cockerel pea comb or it is developing a single comb, which I thought “impossible” with this cross. Unless perhaps the male is not double pea comb? Your thoughts?

Pea comb. See the three lines of comb dots/protrusions, the two smaller lines on either side of the primary line in the middle? If this doesn't look like your other chicks, I'm betting cockerel with about 90% certainty. I've ID'd cockerel pea combs by 3 weeks in some production egger crosses, so 3-4 wks is a bit young to tell, but possible for some crosses/some individual chickens.

Yes this one and another have much more pronounced compared to siblings. I see the small bumps on side but this one’s comb is as big as some of the single comb brooder mates from a bcmXbcm. I’m guessing it and the other may be a cockerel then. Thank you for the help.

at about 10weeks definitely apprsrs to be a cockerel. I have noticed the legs color on males being white and females being slate gray like Ameraucana father. Attached is picture of sibling of later hatch that is female (6wks) to show her leg color.

The one on the left is definitely a cockerel. You win some, you lose some, right?

When you say the one on the left do you mean the white one? There are three burds in the bottom pic but the brown bird on the left is not very visible.

We are looking on a computer. The white bird on the left here, in the pic by itself, with the dark pink/red comb is a cockerel.
