John, The black male's photo is a bit out of focus, but it appears to me that the middle row of the comb is almost a single comb. Combs are tough to get right and sometimes and can go thru a generation or two of problems. I have not seen one that shows a single comb integrated with the pea comb. The Pea Comb and Rose comb combination seems to show issues first. And the Single comb should show separately without evidence of the Rose/Pea combs.
I would not use him if I had options. But if he is the best you have, then try a small hatch with a female with a really nice tight comb.
