Search through what grows on layer (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

comb

I believe this is a double definition.

'search' is the first definition.
(combing is a kind of searching)

'what grows on layer' is the second definition.
(crest on a chicken, something which lays eggs)

'through' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for comb that I've seen before include "Used to tidy hair" , "Honey structure" , "Tidy (hair); some honey" , "Untangle (hair)" , "Common hair tidier" .)
