Who's My Daddy (and who's my mommy)?

A straight comb is more often called a single comb.

Also there's one other small nearly flat comb type and that is the cushion comb.

From the (parent) chickens you have listed, it sounds like you have the options: v-comb, straight comb, v-straight comb, pea comb. Of those four, your picture looks most like a pea comb, but just to be sure, can you give us a nice, high-definition picture of just the comb? Sometimes, it can be hard to tell, with chicks.

Incidentally, there are three other types of "flat" chicken combs I've seen. Rose combs are flat, but tend to extend back a bit and are just a bit lumpy. Pea combs have three rows (like three, separate, entire straight combs right next to each other, but very short and small) and are mostly flat. Strawberry combs are just flat. Walnut combs (silkie combs) are like strawberry combs, but wrinkly.

I admit. I forgot about it. I mentally lump that one in with the Strawberry comb. (And walnut with pea, but I've managed to avoid writing one when I mean the other for quite some time now.)

EDT: Need to work on reading comprehension. Deleted some stuff before (hopefully) anyone could see it.

The first chick I would guess Salmon Faverolle x Dark Brahma. The second is probably Easter Egger x Leghorn. And the third probably Easter Egger x Barnevelder.

I have another chick I know her mom is an Easter Egger (she came from a green egg). She has orange, feathered legs and 4 toes, so I think her father is a Salmon Faverolle.

5 toes should be dominant

Someone with more experience with genetics please tell me if I'm mistaken. I swear thats dominant trait.

Supposed to be. But really, it's actually only dominant about about 70% of the time.

I think you’re right

Okay good I thought I was going insane. Thank you for the reassurance that it should be.

I have another one. Easter Egger mom for sure. Daddy could be Golden Laced Polish, Salmon Faverolle, or Easter Egger. She has clean slate legs with 4 toes and a pea comb. With the clean legs, I am thinking the GL Polish is her daddy.

I think that last chick might be easter egger, on both sides of the family
