What Breed?

He is lovely!

No idea, but he's beautiful!

A pea comb would be dominate over a single comb so he is not crossed with a pea comb bird.

Unless the pea comb has single comb genes, then they may throw a single comb. I don't believe he has EE in him though.

Or it could have been a single-combed EE... no law written that says EE's have pea combs, though most do. I have a single-combed one from Privett.

not a full breed, but GORGEOUS!!!!!

 

[noitulover]

definitely a mix, but a Columbian Rock Mix x White Leghorn?

Some kind of white egg layer in his background is giving him the white earlobes...

 

[NYREDS]

He doesn't have white earlobes?

The white you see is not earlobes that is some small feathers.

The only time an EE gets a single comb is when the pea comb on the mother or father has a bad pea comb. It is hard to explain. I can't think of another better word than bad.

Not necessarily Maxx. DTchickens and jossanne are right, in that a bird that has a pea comb, could also be carrying the single comb. Nothing states that pea combed breeds need to have the "modified" combs in order to throw single combed offspring.
