Chicks with walnuts and combs from the same 'family'?

[TheHalfWayCoop]

I don't know if that's normal or not, or why that happens, but out of our four silkies three of them are developing combs (our buff's is already turning black while our patridge's are remaining black?) and one is developing a black walnut instead... we got them from the same breeder, but not necessary the same 'family', is this normal? Why would that happen?

I do not know much of anything about walnut combs......but sounds like maybe (maybe cause I really am just guessing) there might be another comb style/type mixed in (or just poor comb quality).

Single combs pop up in silkies occasionally. If they are just pets - no big deal, but if you are breeding to show, I wouldn't breed the single combed birds.

Would you be able to post some pictures. I am interested in seeing what you mean.
