What breed is this frizzle roo?

[ChickenMathFail]

This roo was sold as a "black frizzle cochin" but I have seen regular cochin roos that look a lot different. How would someone know the breed of a frizzle?

He's a frizzled Cochin. Only thing is see different is he had his comb partly dubbed.
Probably due to frostbite, or dubbing procedure to prevent frostbite, or hen pecking.

I agree, it's a frizzle cochin
Is his comb completely healed?

What does dubbed mean? He has always been a California chicken, so likely not frostbite

Dubbing is cutting off/removal of part, or all of the comb, & wattles, sometimes earlobes.

Location is always important.

Here is a picture with more light on his face. Does it look like he was previously injured or that he had the plastic surgery (dubbing) in this one? If so, I would love to know how to spot things like that moving forward.

He's dubbed, just abit roughly though, or he was done at a younger age, & some of the points tried to regenerate.

Injury, or frostbite for comparison.
Different degrees of damage.
