I feel like (maybe) it would be easier to improve crest size vs improve leg feathers 🤔 but im just guessing... I did one polish cross with my birds and only 1/3 had good leg feathers, and none had a beard (my polish cockerel is bearedless but comes from a bearded line). They also have wacky...
Wanted to post a follow up photo of mine. Paint satins looking good so far. Most of them have silkied feather, but only 1 has 5 toes. The one with 5 toes has light skin though! Not sure who to keep 🤔
