Update.. My little sebright cross is showing a teenie tiny bit of cresting so I am realising her cross is already to Ziggy (Sire), my first crested rooster. I'm not sure if I should breed her back to Ziggy.. or my new biggest crested boy, Ziggy's son, Rufous.. from the onset. Her Mum was a pure...
This is awesome, thanks heaps for all your thoughts. I've been considering getting a couple of sebrights, so maybe it's time. I have far too many chickens atm so I'll rehome some of my lil non cresteds first haha. Everyone so far wants the crested birds, so fingers xed lol. Thank you again Kooky...

Thank you. That is another first today.. a chicken calculator. Sounds very fun. Thank you so much for your detailed input.. wow.. much knowledge there.. although I fear my last post re sex linked silver may throw a spanner lol 😆
It will be interesting to see what does develop with this mix. I...

Thank you very much. I'm going to read...

Oh dear 🤦♀️ Sorry for the muddle in responses there.. thats what happens when you have power cuts halfway through responses, then have to start again hahaha. Blaming the Zimbabwe situation 😅
Thank you
Thank you. Sounds like a very good plan. My sebright is growing up with the crested chicks so it should be fairly easy. I would love to mix her with my big crested w/black boy Rufous.. though one of the lil w blue cockerels looks like he may take the crown on crests. So 2 good...
That's very kind of you to take a crack. I posted pics with some details earlier. I'll pop the link here👇 I hope you don't mind taking a lil peek, and if you are open to cracking that case, please do🙏 TIA 😊🙃...
