Just Curious...

I originally thought that this rooster had a pea comb, but the closer I look, I get slightly confused. Pea comb or single comb?

Thanks.

Handsome boy! I believe that would be called a modified single comb.

Thank you very much for you input and compliment!

Really bad single comb.

Really bad single comb.

He's a crossbreed- Brahma, Dorking, and Delaware.

Does he have any offspring? If so, do any of them have pea combs?

He has a modified pea comb. When breeding a pea combed bird to a single combed bird the offspring have a loosened pea comb. Breed one of those offspring back to a single combed chicken and any chicks with a pea comb will have a very loose one.

On a side note; that beak needs desperate trimming.

Yes, he has one offspring and she/he has a pea comb.

If the mother had a single comb, than he has a pea comb. Pea comb is dominant so can't be hidden.
