What type of comb is on my EE?

[fallenleeves]

I have two other Easter Eggers and they have what appears to be the typical peacomb but I'm not sure about this one ... Looks pretty straight to me. I've heard that peacombs are linked to colored eggs, and though I will be thrilled no matter what color egg she lays, I'm curious to know what to expect!

Thanks in advance

Looks like someone crossed a single comb with a pea combed bird. She'll have the general shape of a pea comb, however it'll be bigger, higher up, and pointerier like a single comb

its a pea comb on a hen that isnt laying eggs yet, it'll red red and a little bigger when she starts laying

Looking forward to your answers from the BYC community, because IMO that's a pea comb. How old is the chicken?

She's about 2 days shy of 21 weeks in this picture

so she is nearly 'full grown'. BTW a very pretty bird. I look at the little EEs that I have, and their combs are very small--they are about 5-weeks younger than this one. I have their mother, she is a year old...and in comparison has a huge comb.. I was just noticing today. One of the things about EEs is you just never know.

Looking into the crystal ball, I predict that your hen will lay a green or blue-green egg within one month. ;O)

Post back with a picture of her after she begins laying and tell us the color egg she lays.

That she is! I have a feeling she's going take her sweet time about getting to laying eggs ... but I hope so She was my first chicken ever, along with her hatch mate who I had to rehome unfortunately for being a rooster. She does have a really small comb though, she's about 5 weeks older than my other ones, and her comb hasn't grown at all since she was about 8 weeks.

I'll definitely post back! I'm so excited to see what everyone lays!

Here's a full body picture :]
