Technically, it's that comb in relation to his massive flowing crest that's making Fabio a keeper. I want to see how his daughters crests look. His earlobes are too red though, and he is more gold than cream. My birds are ab line cream Legbars, and I worked hard on getting straight combs and reasonable crests, and now I'm bringing back white lobes. I'm super excited for my next hatch in spring! I'm probably going to start early, suddenly people are asking about birds since word spread!
I also have Birchen Marans, and I'm working on weeding out carnation comb without sacrificing color. I'm not ready to throw in the towel yet, I don't have the money to start over from scratch! Progress is slow but there is progress.
