Has anybody ever seen anything like this?
Looked like a pullet to me first, one of the reason I kept her instead off selling her, when 2days old. Wanted some more color in my flock and thought for sure she was a girl. Now 3 weeks old I think it might be a rooster with an ingrown comb. It is totally smooth on top except all the way in the back wher there are 2 little ribbbles standing up.
Any suggestions? Genetic, to hor/cold in incubator, wrong Humidity?
Hope the pic will be clear eneough

Well, it's definitely a roo. I've never seen such a thing. Maybe some kind of a pea comb or strawberry comb? I could just be deformed I guess.
 
I say roo, looks more rose combed but none of the breeds you list have them

Well I guess I'll see and wait. He is 3 weeks, will give him another few weeks. Just ashame if Roo, can't/ don't want to keep him if he has a problem geneticaly with his comb. wouldn't mind having antoher Rooster. Have only a Bantam with 11 hens. But have lots of babies that I can choose from to ad another rooster to the bunch.
Thankfully I have the room and no neighbors that mind
