Outcome of comb/crest

[ChickenLover603]

It's happened. My Appenzeller Spitzhauben pullet has gone broody. As you know, Appenzellers have a V shaped comb and a crest (see photo below). I currently have a Lakenvelder cockerel in with my flock. Lakenvelders have a very large comb and no crest (photo below). Will the Appenzeller Spitzhauben chicks have a crest? And will they have a V comb or a single comb? Thanks in advance!

If I knew even the alleles of the V comb I could figure it out, if anyone knows those.

The v duplex comb is incompletely dominant to the single comb so you will have crested offspring with a funny looking comb. The comb is highly variable in expression so it can vary quit a bit.
It will not look like a v comb or a single comb- a miss-mash of both. Here are two birds.
