Do you have any images? Duplex[or double] combs are a trait of certain breeds, with the duplex 'single' comb[which is called a Buttercup comb] being a trait of the Sicilian Buttercup breed.V combs like in Polish and La Fleche are also a form of duplex comb.

Ive just been informed by partner that woukd be the wynadott in him-her....ive got a right mix..lol

Ah yeah, Wyandotte rose combs do look a bit like double combs when they are young, with the two little ridges in front

 

[tattie t]

Yep...should have realised as there's a wynadott running with my hens

 

[Chris09]

The hens have a Single Comb?
Crossing Single and a Rose Comb can give you a Double Comb.
The Rooster below is out of a Rose/Single Comb cross.

That's still a rose comb but the typical two ridges do look to be more pronounced in heterozygous rose comb birds.
