Combs

This page shows some examples of the different types of combs.

Large Single Comb - example: Ancona

Folded Single Comb - example: Leghorn

Horn Comb

Mulberry Comb - example: Silkie

 

Triple / Pea Comb - example: Brahma

 

Rose Comb - example: Sebright

 

Small Single Comb - example: Old English Game

 

Walnut Comb - example: Malay

A few notes on the above:

Walnut and cushion combs are the same things.

There are modifiers that make a rose comb smooth or bumpy.

Wyandottes have the smooth short rose comb, while rose comb bantams still have the long pointed rose comb with bumps on it.

The buttercup comb is due to another dominant gene D. The buttercup comb is less dominant than the Lefleche type horned comb.
