Lol! That's really interesting though. I enjoy learning about stuff like that though. It's just very confusing usuallyGeneticists call is a "walnut comb" when it's genetically pea comb and rose comb.
So yes, your chick should have a walnut comb: pea from the Brahma father, rose from the Wyandotte mother.
Here's a chart of different comb types:

The ones described as cushion or strawberry are walnut combs (genetically speaking), as are most of the ones called walnut combs.
Silkies have a "walnut comb" that looks rather like a walnut--but I've read that sometimes it's genetically a rose comb.
Nothing like a bit of confusion![]()

I can't find it dumbed down enough for me to understand
