What type of comb does he have? Probably an EE or EE X. Looks a lot like one of my boys!

It looks like a mix of a pea comb and something else. It's a tall comb not stuck on the skull. Forgive me I'm new to abbreviations what is EE or EEX

Do you have a pic? Sorry, I should've clarified. Easter Egger or Easter Egger X (cross).

He might be a Salmon Faverolle cross. He has a pea comb.

Are those his chicks? Unless you have a barred rooster, that black chick is male.

Tried to type with my pictures wouldn't let me, there's a better pic of his comb and these are the chicks, their moms were a barred rock and Rhode Island Red, I was trying to figure out if they would like him or their mommies.

Ok. The black chick is a cockerel; you did a black sex link cross with the Barred Rock mom and your roo. He will look like his mom, but might have some leakage - probably red.

Your roo is either an Easter Egger or Salmon Faverolle cross. I'm not sure; only way you'll know for sure is if one of his daughters lays blue or green eggs. Then you'll know he has EE.

I think it's more probably he has EE.

Cool thank you that helps a lot I have been trying to find something that can tell me what he is I read about how the genes go from mom to baby rooster and dad to female hen so blue green eggs EE gene, so if it's a salmon faverolle mix they will be pink? That's pretty neat. Again thank you.

Yes, with sex linked genes, the mother (being the parent that determines sex since she has the ZW sex chromosomes, while the rooster is ZZ.) passes it on to her sons only. Roosters pass all genes on to either gender. If you get blue/green eggs from daughters (which even if he carries might not happen) you'll know he's got EE back there. Even if he has EE, they could lay brown or pink eggs. You might not know for sure.

Cockerel.
