What would you call this Rooster’s color?

Pea. I like the parrot beak. It’s not at a chrysanthemum comb development. Ko Shamos look really fancy because of the chrysanthemum combs.
(i really don’t know if I like them anymore, “chrysanthemum” is too hard to spell)


Florida Bullfrogs is definitely pea. It is heterozygous for single comb, but so were some of my Buckeye LF.
I feel like a comb should be defined by its genetics (and the dominant trait, not recessives) not what it looks like. At least combs have been mostly consistent... plumage colors are... to put it confusingly... a horse of a different color.

The comb looks unusual, what kind of rooster is it?

As where a question has come up about his comb... I consider his comb a pea comb, albiet modified with straight comb genetics. But still pea comb overall. Am I incorrect?

A pea comb looks like 3 rows of peas growing from the beak up. It's not a raised comb.

Yes, by textbook definition. Often with gamefowl pea combs are crossed to straight combs and the resulting modified combs are considered “pea” even though it doesn’t look like a classic pea comb.

So if that isn’t a pea, would you call that a straight comb?

No. I would call that a pea comb too.

What a lovely rooster!!! I quite like the depth of the red on him.

Not quite able to decide based on the side profile - but that comb could be either a very large pea.. or perhaps even a rose??

Edit to add: I'm looking at the way the comb is raised up off the head like that at the back - that's not really typical of a pea comb structure. That's something I see on my rose combed birds and some singles.

Here are two of my NZ Araucana roos, both with a pea combs .. showing that a pea can be somewhat large and raised on the roosters.

OH that has a lot of similarity to a single comb to me.
At best he might have one pea gene and one non pea gene - giving a "partial" pea comb that looks mostly single.
