Double Comb/Buttercup Comb?

[OkieB]

My elderly Aunt stated that she has always wanted a chicken with a double comb to add to her flock... her birthday is coming up and I thought I might try and find what she is wanting. After brief research, I am assuming she is talking about the Buttercups. Any input here? Help please. Thanks in advance.

She is talking about a Buttercup chicken, they are the only breed to sport the buttercup comb

I would show an internet photo or two of Buttercups to her to make sure that is what she has in mind before buying. A double comb could mean different things to different people. I've heard rose combs referred to as double combs and it's possible she means pea combs as well.

She might also mean a V comb....
