It should only take three. First the initial cross. Then breed a ton of F2s. A ton. And test-breed anything with a rose comb with single combed birds to figure out if they carry single.Okay, so at least.... 4 generations?

Peaxrose gives you cushion combs. Replacing the pea comb with rose would be slightly more difficult than replacing the singles, but not much harder. First you would have to breed out the pea combs. Then you would have to breed out single since pea combs are PPr+r+ having the pea and single comb genes and rose are p+p+RR having the single and rose comb genes.
Why did you use that black hen's pic? Did she consent to nudes? Poor thing.
Breed them together. p+p+xPPI might make the most dumb headed question ever, so don't come for me, chicken genetics still have me banging my head on a wall. How do you replace straight combs with pea combs?
Breed them together. p+p+xPP
Breed their offspring together Pp+xPp+
Then you have have Pp+, PP and p+p+ offspring. Test breed the peacombed offspring to ensure they are homozygous for P. With heterozygotes you can kinda tell, but usually only on the roosters, and only sometimes.
By a ton, that would be 50-100 or 200+?It should only take three. First the initial cross. Then breed a ton of F2s. A ton. And test-breed anything with a rose comb with single combed birds to figure out if they carry single.
Breed pea to single, and then breed those to the cross, test breed those to singles to be sure they don't carry pea.I might make the most dumb headed question ever, so don't come for me, chicken genetics still have me banging my head on a wall. How do you replace straight combs with pea combs?
Unless you're Jacin. Then they make it very obviousBreed them together. p+p+xPP
