i had 2 roos with the red cast on their wings, they got sold (freezer camp destination likely). side sprigs are bad. ear color will come with time, and selecting for slightly more tinted eggs I think. most of my girls have a bit of a wash on their ears. some more than others. the ones that have less white also lay slightly darker eggs. i'll deal with that when i am happy with conformation and size. then i can start working on egg size and color (and ear color will come with it).That has been my experience, also. Feet are an easier fix. My hen with the split comb/sprigs has passed it on to probably all her offspring. That's what is making me question what other defects might be as bad... like earlobe color etc. How can I find out for sure?
I'm doing better at ignoring color for now, but I've heard that brickiness in the Silvers can be a pain to get rid of.
