I think pea. A lot of mine looked like they had no comb till they got older.

Looks like pea to me too
My ameraucana have pea combs that didn't start to fill in til week 6 or so. Then sexing was easy. But mixed breeds can have mixed combs too I learned with my EEs lol my Blue hen had a pea comb young now at 2 years old it looks like a rose/pea/floppy comb lol. All my ameraucana stayed pea comb with neat rows.

Thanks for your advice. If I see anything ill upgrade

My SIL bought me home a cheapy 55 gallon trash can on wheels I put my scratch in it and put the lid on. Every morning I have to put the lid back on securely because my coon friends have had a good meal. I'm going to trash that trash can and get a heavier one to put inside the dog kennels so the coon's can't get to it. They are so tricksey with their little hands. They can reach through 1" square wire. Believe it.

Edited for content: Reading along I see everyone has an opinion. I don't want you to think we are ganging up on you. Just concern. I had never seen a coon in our neighborhood (rural) until one tried to carry off the grown cat we have. Deep gouges on the back of his neck. Scary.

i'm wanting to start incubating soon, but i have never done it, and quite frankly, it scares the living daylights out of me. I'm so afraid I will mess up and kill the poor babies. So, anyone have suggestions on good beginner incubators? Rule of thumb for humidity here in Louisiana? anything else i need to know? Ive been reading on the incubating and hatching thread but would love to hear from some of "my people"

Have you read any of the incubation threads? Some good stuff on there. I don't have an incubator yet but yeah, I'm scared too.
