EE Combs?

[gapeach717]

I have 6 EEs I bought from TSC a few weeks ago, and I see that one of them has a completely different comb than the others. Do they have different kinds of combs bc they are a hybrid breed or is there a pretty standard comb? Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I can post pics if I need to.

Thanks in advance as always!!

All of mine have pea combs but i have heard b/c they are mixed they can be single combed. Same with the face all of mine but one has a fluffy face

yes, not all of mine have beards either, but this one with the comb is strange bc it is *so* different, lol. Thank you!

Mine have pea combs. Post a pic, that might help ID.

I got 14 EEs from TSC this spring also, and 2 of them have no beard/muffs and yellow legs. One has a straight comb. Maybe they got in the wrong bin, or they could be really poor EE crosses.

ok I had to get batteries for my camera and then a new card reader, so here is some pics. feel free to guess gender as well. personally i think both Marina and Pearl (the one with the questionable comb) are Roos.

MARINA







SHELLY




PEARL AND SHELLY (FOR COMPARISON)

Coral wouldn't get her head out of the feed bowl long enough for a good shot, but hers is the same as the rest.

THANKS IN ADVANCE AGAIN!!

I agree marina is a cockeral. Look at those legs!
I see pea and straight combs. Some ees have straight combs, but my understanding is the pea combs have a higher chance of laying green or blue eggs. I'm not sure it's a roo, you'll just have to wait and see. Straight combs are bigger than pea combs, so they look larger sometimes.
