Well not sure what's going on then, with my Silkie Brahma cross I have pictured first. Here's his father Scaredy, a LF Silkie.

He has a smooth walnut, so does his grandson.

They are R/r+, P/p+ due to having large wattles for being walnut

Weird, the pure Silkie, & the one Satin female produced(Edit: The pure Silkie pullet is Scaredy's daughter) satin is from my Silkie Brahma mix are smooth walnut.

Mother also is smooth walnut.

I have two other offspring from my Silkie Brahma mix, that have a comb like my other Silkie rooster I posted. The floppy 3 bladed combed boy.

Following. Very interesting, and well explained! I'll figure this stuff out yet.

Rose comb in heterozygous form is identical to the homozygous form(That is why it's impossible to distinguish a R/r+ Wyandotte) and will not produce 3 bladed combs

Definitely interesting. From my Brahma Silkie mix, back crossed to silkies.

They had two different mothers, but the same father. One mother has the odd comb type. Mama #2.

2 are smooth walnut combed.

2 have a weird 3 blade.

Definitely interesting.

I am not sure why you keep bringing this? I have stated that your sire is R/r+ and P/p+ there is no if or buts about it. as to why he sired walnut progeny? Well that is statistically expected as well.

I was just wondering if the smooth walnut would've corrected the other comb type.

Plus, I was enjoying soaking up more knowledge of what's happening.

For barring:
B/B is a barred male. (with wider white bars?)
B/- is a barred female. (with thinner white bars?)

Barred males can also be single barred, B/b+.
