I have a project bantam lavender ameraucana roo who has the single comb, not the pea comb. So as far as using him to continue the project, I'm just not sure. I got the pair because I thought they were just adorable chicks.
My flock is small and of many breeds. I have a sultan hen who laid a fertile egg...the dad is the ameraucana roo.
My question is, will this chick have his comb or the hen's v comb? And will the chick be lavender as well...how cool would a lavender sultan be?

Lavender is recessive, so the chick will be either white or black, depending on if the white in Sultans is recessive or dominant.

Single comb x V comb makes a single comb with a V-like base, usually turning into a leaf/buttercup type comb or just two different single combs joining into one just above the nose.
