I am soon going to have gold laced sebrights and gold spangled bantam appenzeller spitzhauben. While i want to breed the sebrights towards the sop, i also want to try my own project. That would be creating a small, gold laced and crested (hopefully crest will remain of the spitzhauben type). I thought i would just mix the two breeds and then breed the F1s that have a crest (should be dominant but i read it does not always actually play out that way) back to sebrights. Then repeat this step for a few more generations and once the lacing is decent, breed them with eachother.
the crest should be smaller than the spitzhauben for every cross with sebrights but then at least some should have bigger crests again when breeding the mixes together right?
Can this work at all? Would my idea work or should i do it differently?
Also I would like henny feathering and since its dominant ill probably get it right? Its not a must tho.
Since i really want to try this ANY input would be great. Even if you dont know for certain do you think maybe it could work out ?
Thanks so much in advance for every response!
