Crests and barring

[Minky]

If I have a pure Crested Cream Legbar that I have with EE, Welsummer, and Wyandottes.
Will he give his crest to 100% of his offspring? I am seeing many with funny hairdos but not all???
I recently hatched out some EE, OE mixes using my CCLB and the chicks are 3.5 weeks. Much cuter than previous hatches- no ugly stage yet!
I am trying to understand my results and if they are predictable or unusual.
Some have single combs, some have pea combs, some have rose combs maybe? What does a rose comb look like on a 3 week old chick?

It looks like either no comb or a no comb with a wart at the top.

I have some chicks with a really wide flat bare space- is that a rose comb in a chick?

Possibly. Your really wide is probably different than my really wide.

Also not all the chicks will get a crest. Usually the bigger the crest on birds the bigger the crest on chicks, and clbs only have small crests, plus patients with no crest taking half the genes will result in some not having a crest

by really wide, I mean like the width of a standard pencil. Looks a bit like a corn cob. LOL
