What kind of comb is this?

[-Olive-]

He’s my funny looking mongrel I posted before about his comb and just wondering what type it is now he’s maturing more.

Yeah. He's cute though. Do you know what he's out of?

I have no idea. I think he’s gunna be big though. I have one picture of his parents, amongst other ones. Don’t know which exactly are his Lol.

He is rather strange looking, at least from that angle! Do you know what his parent breeds were? He certainly has at least one copy of the rose comb gene based on the width of the comb, and it does resemble a walnut comb or, oh, what's it called? A cushion comb maybe?

The front hen on the bottom is likely his mama

I guessed walnut mainly because he's got feathers in it. I have yet to see any combs besides walnut that have those tiny feathers in the flesh

Walnut genetically has both rose and pea comb genes, so I wasn't meaning to rule that out as an option! Just that the rose comb gene causes a widening of the comb area, more so than what happens with other comb genes, so he assuredly at least has a rose comb gene.

As far as feathering on the comb like that, you could be right in it being a strong indicator of that being a walnut comb. I don't have a whole lot of experience with walnut-combed breeds or feathering in the comb area, so I didn't even notice that or take it into account.

I agree with this as well!

Well I can update in a few weeks to see how it develops if you guys want? Could be interesting. I hope he behaves himself. I wasn’t going to keep any cockerels but he’s so friendly. Dunno what he’ll be like when he’s bigger though.

I would think maybe walnut mixed with something else

But of an oddball, isn’t he?
