if i breed a rosecomb rir rooster to a staight comb rir hen will they all be rose or both. and will the combs be normal on the chicks.
 
It kind of depends if the rooster has two copies of rosecomb gene (R/R) the off spring should all be rosecomb, maybe with alittle smaller comb. But if the rooster has only one copy (R/r) then 50% of the offspring will be rosecomb and the other half single comb.

Yep, as said. But chances are most will end up with rose combs, but they'll be a little "modified" from the original appearance of a pure rosecomb, especially if from a well bred example.
