single or pea comb?

[sydney13]

ive heard that you can tell the breeds by looking at what type of combs the chicks have but ive looked at many pics and cant seem to see a difference in chicks combs. can you show me some pictures of chicks with single and chicks with pea combs?

A single comb is just that a single ( one row )
A pea comb should have 3 rows.
The first picture on this post might help.... https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=343605

will you see the little rows as they are chicks?

In new hatch chicks not all the time.. Sometimes you will only see the center row but after 2 or so week I would think you would the outer 2 rows..
