Guess my breeds (I do know what they are)

Geneticists 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 :)
Lol! That's really interesting though. I enjoy learning about stuff like that though. It's just very confusing usually 😂
I can't find it dumbed down enough for me to understand 😂😂😂

I think that the more I learn, the easier each new part is to learn (because I understand the basics better.)

Of course, it would also be easier if people used consistent names for the genes and colors! ("Lavender" is also "self blue," but otherwise "blue" means something else; a Dark Brahma could also be called Silver Partridge; a Brown Red is the gold version of a Birchen; and so forth.)

Is there anything I said that needs to be clarified more?
 
This is the only cross I had his name is Fred, I only know his father, so I will only tell you that his father is a bantam chicken. Gook Luck :pop :pop :pop

Lol! Those are a lot of terms. Nope, I think you explained everything really well :thumbsup
