Is that a single comb or a pea comb?

I'm not sure. Here are a few pics of the comb. Single or pea? It does have feathered legs.

That is a single comb. Sorry

 

[Happy Chooks]

Good eye Medicine man, that's a single comb.

But what does it mean that it has a single comb? I'm clueless to the chicken world.

 

[Happy Chooks]

It means more than likely you'll get brown eggs, not olive. The blue egg gene is closely tied to the pea comb.

There are a couple people here that have single comb birds that still lay olive, but it's a crap shoot.

Just in case anyone might be interested... I have an auction that will be ending in a few hours for 15+ LF Barred Olive Egger Hatching Eggs that will SHIP ASAP. I've already collected 20 eggs! Here is the link - https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=477979

These are really my sons birds as he wanted to have camo eggs last year as a 4H project

. He entered his sweet Olive Egger Roo, Popeye, in the "Backyard Section" at the Fancy Feathers Open Chicken Show this past weekend won a first place ribbon. The Olives got alot of attention at the show (and a few people inquired about purchasing them)... it was really fun for him to get to show them off... one of the hens even laid a beautiful olive egg in her cage at the show.
