Silkie alone would give that, as would any other bearded cross. I don't see anything that indicates EE any more than other bearded crosses. I have a number of silkie crosses, and he is very typical of silkie X brahma as well as silkie X cochin. I don't have any wyandottes, and thus no crosses, but I can see how he could be silkie X wyandotte as well.
The comb is not really a good indicator for a silkie cross as silkies carry both rose and peacomb genes. He has a silkie's typical walnut comb except that it is red rather than mulberry to black. If the offspring of a silkie cross ends up with a single comb, then the silkie itself if not pure in its comb genes.
