[Loretta212]

haha yes ok seems like a dumb question but hey im new at this. this is a roo (i believe ) but i have to hens with the same looking comb would this be a pea comb on EEs and does that mean ill get blue/green eggs?

Looks like a Pea Comb to me. He is also a rooster so no Blue Eggs from him.

not always. i have hens with pea combs and they lay brown eggs onlyy but theres always a chance.

Maybe, I'm reading the OP wrong but, are your hens EE's? Because comb type has nothing to do with egg color.

I am finding that comb type on a EE has nothing to do with egg color.
I have Single Comb "EE's" that lay Blue and Green eggs just the same as I had Pea Comb EE's that lay Blue, Green, Olive, Brown, White and every shade between.

Unless you know what the cross was to create them and the egg color egg they hatched from it is going to be real hard to tell what color egg the hens will lay.

Mine too, its just a roll of the dice with egg color in my experience! I have a EExLB mix that has yellow legs and a funky comb, that lays the prettiest Aqua colored eggs then I have an EE with slate legs and Peacomb and she lays the bigest tan eggs.

Do you know what the parentage is? Did you buy them from someone or hatch them? My guess is with the leg color and solid color and pea comb you will most likely get green/blue eggs from them

That roo doesn't look like an EE to me at all, so I am going to say no green/blue eggs. Lots of other breeds have pea combs and do not have the blue egg gene, so I am guessing he is a cross of some other breeds?

eta: If your hens that came with him have muffs and/or beards and are more of a fluffy vs long and lean build, then I think you are likely to get blue or green eggs. It's just that this roo has no beard or muffs and he looks to have a bit of (hatchery) Cornish or something Gamey in him with that long long neck and slender build.
