Sorry, I have no idea.Any idea on the long leg gene from Brahma's, Aseel and the like? As in their mode of inheritance. Is it a host of genes, or just one gene that is dominant/partially dominant?
2) I did try Polish and Silkies for crest too. The problem here was I couldn't get any without the cranial vault in the former, and too much vision impairment in the latter.
I decided on the Spitz only because they don't have the cranial vaults and vision impairment.
I think it's possible to breed out the cranial vault while keeping the crest. When I see photos of Polish-cross chicks, they usually have normal shaped heads, but still grow crests.
If the vision impairment was a problem with Silkies, could it be due to the texture of the feathers? Once you get normal feathers (first generation offspring), the crest might stay up out of their way better. So you might be able to manage the original birds by clipping the crest feathers short, and not have a problem with their normal-feathered offspring. (Maybe.)
(I'm not really trying to change what you're doing, just musing about whether these might be less of a problem than you first thought.)
