JUVENILE CHICKEN SEXING: PEA COMB SEXING
Breeds include: Amerucana, Brahma, Easter Eggers
Pea combs appear at the base of the beak and extend towards the top of a chicken's head. Pea combs are smaller than other combs and are fairly tight against their heads. Males have three connected rows of caruncles that look like rows of peas side by side. Females have only 1 row. The "peas rows" are little bumps, and are uniform in shape and size as juveniles. As the bird matures the comb grows, sometimes losing its neat, ordered appearance and becoming a large globule on their head.
