the crested gene can stay hidden for many generations or it can be a spontaneous mutation. I'm not sure about the coloring issue.
I do know that Ideal Hatchery in Texas has issues with the created gene being passed throughout their flocks so if any of their stock came from there, it could be that gene is being expressed.
