What kind of comb is this?

He is an easter-egger rooster, and I think he probably has a pea comb, but I've never seen one like this. Just curious. Thanks!

It looks more like a rose comb to me.

Cool! I had no idea what it was, it looks different than any comb I've seen

I would agree. That looks more like a rose comb.

I don't think he's an EE at all. He looks like a mixed breed rooster with silkie back in the gene pool somewhere.

Wow, cool! We bought him online from a private seller, and he said they were easter eggers. But he also said they were hens and "laying every day" (it took months for the ones that were hens to start laying

). Thanks!

The color is called Silver Duckwing, ...however there is also something presenting
like a heterozygous Columbian gene (Co/co), See the striping in the hackle?
In a pure Silver Duckwing (e+/e+ S/S ) the hackle would be snow white. Very pretty boy!
Best,

could be a walnut comb

Interesting! I always wondered, he looked so different!

I don't see any silkie in him.
