Is this supposed to be a Rosecomb?

not sure got it at an auction friday for 2 dollars because i think he is very handsome. just trying to figure him out now. boggy bottom bantams suggested that it looked very similar to a rosecomb and a rare color. i'm good with breeds but when it comes to my own i get lost lol

i have never seen a rosecomb this color so....

Where's the bird you're talking about?

I believe they are discussing the near Quail colored cockrell, he is clearly split for single comb based on comb structure and is quite likely a OE cross either intentional or not.
The cross with the rosecomb and single comb typically results in the spike becoming nearer a blade in the males it is much more difficult to determine females based on comb structure.

What are the genetics of wheaten? There's a Pullet for sale by me and I'm wondering if I could put her in my blue, black, or bbred pens

Where did you aquire the wheaton pullet? Do you have any Pics?

He does have a rose comb, although not a very good one. Apart from that he bears no resemblence to a Rosecomb & he's not a standard Rosecomb variety. His colour is close to Quail as in d'Anvers.

I thought that might be the bird in question but since he bears no resemblence to a Wheaten male I wasn't sure.

what color could i cross him to to help keep that coloration but bring him to actual rosecomb standard?

Bringing him to "actual rosecomb standard" would require a magic wand.
