sorry,it may look like that, but there are "points", and it is by definition a triple comb.

It is still a pea comb.

In homozygotes it is small and marked with three longitudinal rows of papillae, or points, the centre row being the most conspicuous.
​

i noticed it said that the sides will apear as side sprigs, but on my rooster they are not side sprigs, they are conected in a row. this is confusing.​
 
This is Billy my EE cockerel with a single comb & beard ~ since he is a cockerel and has yet to father any chicks I can only assume that he will pass on a brown egg gene and not a green egg gene. It is a possibility that his mother was a BO and father is known to be an EE roo.

His plumage color, leg color, and size of beard/muffs aren't right to have a Buff Orpington Parent. To me, he looks like someone just plain worked with single combed EE's for quite some while, and got him. . . . His plumage color, leg color, even body type are pretty typical of an Easter Egger from a hatchery.

Yes, quite possibly. He has the pearly pink legs, tall comb, smaller muffs, columbian pattern, and dilute cream color to prove it.
 
ok thanks, does his father being a BO explain his columbian color even though his mother is a Pure bred White Ameraucana?
