What comb type am I? Not like any I have seen...

His comb is tall, flops over slightly and is pretty smooth on top (no spikes). Also, if you know, what breed is he? He was a late bloomer so I thought he was hen until he was about 5 months old.
I found Chickie when he was only a couple of days old as he was running down the sidewalk. He is about 7 months in this current pic.

Looks like a pea comb gone wrong, actually. My birds who are part single comb parent and part pea comb parent sometimes get ones like that.

LOL!!! "gone wrong"...boy there is a lot about this guy "gone wrong" not just his comb!!
I love him to death though.

That is aclassic example of the "Gob of chewing gum" comb.

He's interesting!!! Adds character I think.

I have a hen that has a weird comb that flops over like that.

Here's a drawing illustrating the wide varieties of comb shapes that can occur: http://i528.photobucket.com/albums/dd327/lbritten/ChickenCombsRossSimpson.jpg

Your bird definitely looks like he has some Frizzle genes in him somewhere.

Help yourself-I haven't copyrighted it.

I've heard it as "bubblegum comb," but I think I like that version better.
