Oh, oh, I can help with this one (even as a rank amateur with no chickens (for 3 more weeks)). http://www.animalcorner.co.uk/farm/chickens/chicken_anatomy.html has pictures and everthing about combs. I just spent the morning looking for just that info.

Thank you sharol. I checked out this website and coudn't make out much out of the pea comb drawing. Wish there was a real picture, a close up, somewhere to show. Although from the description doesn't sound like my chicken has a pea comb. Thanks again.

if you would like to see a variety of real pictures of each of these breeds, check out www.feathersite.com. Rocks come in a variety of colors as do leghorns, and orpingtons. Good luck.

Thanks, DaughterOfEve. I'm more and more convinced that my white chicken is a Rock. It could not be orpington, because of yellow legs, nor leghorn - it has red earlobes rather then white. It has the wrong comb to be cornish as well. Either way I'm not even sure if those farm stores care what their chickens are, so it really may be a mutt, for all I know. It does look Plymouth White Rock though so I will go with that.

Thanks guys for your help.
