Is a single comb breed standard for a silkie roo? My daughter will be showing one of our chickens in the summer, we’re just trying to determine which one lol we have 2 silkies, 2 barred rocks and a porcelain D’uccle

Single comb is a recessive gene that crops up from time to time, especially in the True Chinese Silkies which are typically Largefowl in size.
It's a disqualification in poultry shows, but if it's a show at a fair, then it maybe okay.
