I'm wondering how different chicken comb genetics work.
What comb types are dominant and which ones are recessive?
What would you get if you mix a hen with a pea comb and a roo with a single comb and vice versa?
Are there any other genetic traits that are associated with different comb types. Like health problems or being more hardy?
I have chickens with rose, single, V, and pea combs. I would like to have mostly pea combs in future generations are any of these comb types more dominant than a pea comb type. So should I not breed with some of these of I want mostly pea combs. I have a rooster with a pea comb and a rooster with a single comb if I use the rooster with the single comb will it make most of the chicks have single combs or are the other types more dominant?
I know this is a lot. Sorry I just don't know much about comb genetics and I know that a lot of you are very knowledgeable about stuff like this.
Thank you so much in advance![Slightly smiling face :slight_smile: 🙂](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
