The question i have is the non bearded trait hard to breed out of my ee hens . last year i aquired some ameracauna roosters to improve egg color and beard and muffs as some of my ee hens do not have any. This trait was still passed on to a few chicks.

I don't know the specific genetics behind it, but in my experience the beard and muffs are partially dominant. Crossing a fluffy faced bird with a clean faced bird usually gives me mostly fluffies, but some cleans also. If you breed the cleans back to a fluffy, you should get more fluffies.
