what type of comb is this?

[eclectic-em]

he’s 18 months old and from a “mystery egg”

since he was a cockerel it seemed like/ people said it was a cushion comb but now i’m not really sure when i compare pictures online. he came from a green egg and that’s all i know so assuming there’s a pea comb gene somewhere.

(if he looks sad in the bathroom pictures it’s because he is. he knows he’s getting his bumblefoot treated)

Did you order from the intense egg color assortment and add 3 mystery eggs? I scrolled a bit down the page and found this.->

Like a good mystery?
If you're up to some Super Sleuthing, order some "Mystery Eggs" and see if you can guess what birds you've received. The color of the hatching egg may provide a clue but you'll need to wait until the chick hatches to see if you're even half right -- the possibilities are almost endless. At $13.95 for (3) Mystery Eggs, it is a great deal, too. So order some Mystery Eggs...make some observations...consider the possibilities...and see if you can crack the code. These Mystery Eggs may hatch large fowl, bantams, known breeds and unknown breeds.

Looks like a modified pea comb.

What's a modified pea comb? I've heard of it before but I don't know what it is.

It's when a chicken has stronger genes for a pea comb but other comb types in its blood line, so it's not a pure pea comb. Looks to me like a pea comb and maybe some wyandotte for a rose comb. But hatchery ees are mixes of mixes so...

yeah that’s the one! although it was an add on to a “super friendly assortment” or something. my first time incubating and only he hatched (1 of 10). he’s definitely unknown. i’ve been going mad trying to figure it out. i wish they did dna parentage tests for chickens the way they do for pigeons.

that’s an old picture i don’t have many new full body ones. he’s starting to molt and now his new feathers are coming in with black dots at the tips. the mystery gets even more mysterious!!

well hey i know most EEs are essentially one of a kind but i’m glad to know george is eggstra special he’s a nightmare but he’s so good to the girls, doesn’t “court” them until they start start laying eggs. modified pea comb it is!

Very handsome guy! He's probably from their "Green Queen" line of EE

He's adorable! Looks like he's smiling!

i’ve got a couple chicks that are his. the hen is a polish with the v comb though so now i’m just making some seriously wacky chickens i think.

Those are cockerels and don't have a polish mother. The mixed comb type he has seems to be dominant.

He has a walnut comb. It's basically a combination of rose and pea comb genes. It's any of the following genetically: RRPP, RrPP, RRPp, or RrPp.
