What will a chicken that is heterozygous for pea comb and single comb look like?

[HonkABC]

If a chicken is heterozygous for pea comb and single comb, what will its comb look like? I read that pea comb is incompletely dominant, so would its comb look like a mix of pea and single? Thank you.

On hens it can just look like a taller pea comb, hard for me to find a picture.

These are my EE hens that have the “modified pea” combs, just to give you a visual. The brown hen in the first photo has a modified pea comb.

So they would look like a mix between a pea and single comb? The reason I am asking this question is because in the future I may make a cross between two f1 chickens that I know are homozygous for pea and single, and I would like to know if there is a way to distinguish the heterozygous pea/single offspring from the ones that are homozygous for pea comb.

Yes

I call it a pingle comb because it looks exactly how you'd expect.

Ok, Thank you!

Just pick the best, neatest pea combs you can for the offspring because some pingle combs can be sneaky and less obvious.
