I certainly agree. There is so much variation one gene cannot seem to describe it all. I had an idea comb type was an influencer, but direction is another thing altogether!

Very interesting. Thank you everyone.

Interesting! I was just looking at the Schijndelaars on Greenfire and noticed they had very small crests AND very small crests. This got me a little perplexed, but that does look like a pea comb to me.

Ahh, thank you! I thought that might have something to do with it.

But it Crested Legbars truly were heterozygous for the crest gene, 25% of the offspring should have big crests. And 25% would have no crests, right? I haven't seen a Legbar with a huge crest before, of course I know there are Legbar without crests.

Are there different genetics that govern crests and tassels? Crest like that on a Polish, and tassels, like on a Crested Legbar. Does this have to do with comb type, or some other combination or genes or is it two different genes? I know it's not simply dominance, because Crested Legbars breed...
