Question, does it mean that my Buckeye rooster (He has a pea comb) has some recessive genetics of a single comb since I crossed him with some single comb hens (Speckled Sussex and Black Copper Maran) and got 2 single comb babies, the rest had walnut combs?
Also, I randomly got a red birchen chick with red leakage from mixing my Buckeye with a Black Copper Maran, which was unexpected. What does that say about the parents?
I also got some white Columbian style roosters from mixing the Buckeye with some Silver Laced Wyandottes. Is this normal as well? It has happened 5 times.
