It does not appear to be an issue in Crested Cream Legbars.

Huh, that’s interesting. I thought I had read it was common in Silkies and Crested Ducks too.

This all makes good sense. 1-3 eggs a month is not even remotely acceptable to me unless they are pooping gold.

In regards to the crest, is this a concern with the Cream Brabanters that I have now? Is a mohawk considered the same thing as a crest? If I really like them, I was hoping to breed them. Not for anything other than fun and sending hatching eggs all over the country, but still...

I am not sure. I think crested is like full fluff right?

How much have you eaten today? How much exercise have you gotten? It's past 10 pm where you are... Toast is fine. Eating at 10 pm is not.

Just the lunch/brunch/whatever I posted earlier and the ice cream and some of these and that’s it.

Although I did have steak just now when I asked that. So steak with the toast. I wasn’t going to have to toast but I wanted something else with the steak and we didn’t have any potatoes and didn’t feel like salad. Plus I wanted some warm toast with butter. Had two slices and some steak. But yeah, probably bad to eat a full meal at 10pm..... :oops:

As for exercise, just walking around that garden center but it was pretty big. And a little bit around the backyard but the back isn’t that big. And I also did a ton of driving around and sitting around today. And also parked pretty far away from some stores. But that’s it. :oops:

Mostly drove or sat around at home or sat in the car. :oops:

What "crested" are you talking about anyway?

The issue with vaulted skulls @R2elk mentioned can occur in some crested birds. Unless you mean other breeds/species with it? I thought Silkies and crested ducks had it too but idk.

I don't know.

I think it’s a different gene, no? Maybe not. Idk. Would be interesting to find out.

honanbm said:
The typical issue with crests is the skull deformity, yes? If so, breeding crest to crest results in massive issues/deaths in chicks, right? Man, I need to look up what causes the mohawk in the Cream o Chicken soup group.

I don’t think mohawk is a problem but idk.
 
But that said, I have a good reason. I didn’t even get home until like 9:45. Although I guess that’s not really a good reason because I could have come home a lot sooner but was just driving around/sitting in parking lots for like over an hour, from like 8, 8:30 till like 9:30, 9:45 :oops: could have gone home at like 8:30 lol but I wasn’t ready to yet.
