I got a good look at his points. Definitely more than 6. Probably 6 big ones and some little micro points toward the back.

"If single combed=medium to moderately large single comb, with five evenly serrated points that are longer in the middle than the ends."

http://www.openpoultrystandards.com... Rhode Island Red,was the single-comb variety.

Looks like five points is the desired number for showing.

What people do with them is their business, but I won’t be advertising as show birds.

I'm shocked Moony hasn't disputed the fact I'm not.

I do eat my red meat just about raw.

Numbers of points on combs is arbitrary as long as it looks good otherwise, just a half point cut for each point above 5. If you’re looking at the number, you either have perfected literally everything else or don’t know the breed standard and are judging them by the least important thing.
I had to explain this to my little brother with his bantam Welsummer project.
