Absolutely NOT. Sometimes the poor quality of hatchery chicks will have single comb but it is extremely undesirable and can not be shown.
Hope you don't have any!!!

They pop up from time to time, I have only seen 1 so fair with my breedings. I would never breed from a single comb silkie.

It is most likely, as a lot of Silkies are - Of hatchery stock. It goes the same with Wyandottes - They should NOT have single combs, but hatcheries often have ones with single combs, some people say it is to boost fertility or something.
