Comb dominance question

[butterfliesdoku]

Is the straight comb in Cream Legbars dominant? Like, if I wanted to breed a Legbar to a hen with a Rosecomb which comb type would be dominant?

I have found rosecombs to be dominant in all my crosses with straight combs.

 

[junebuggena]

Single comb is the most recessive comb type. Rose comb is a dominant comb type.

Thank you both

Thank you Junebuggena, I would have thought straight combs would be dominant. What about walnut combs (ugh, I hate them)?

 

[junebuggena]

Walnut combs are the same, genetically, as cushion combs. It's a pea comb combined with a rose comb. Both are dominant, and fight for expression giving you that blobby thing that is neither here nor there.

Thank you muchly. I hate the blobby combs too -

So would a pea comb be dominate over a single comb?

 

[junebuggena]

Yes.
