If you dub them they could be what your looking for.

I haven't read this whole thread,but such a cool idea!

I have a fibromelanistic EE who *kinda* looks like a crow. Sorta. Maybe.

Breeding for crow head is like breeding for double Merle in dogs. Your breeding for defects and your birds will be less healthy in the long run

Crow Face isn't really a defect, but just an undesirable trait in show poultry. It's most commonly seen in gamefowl, as it's selected for, slimmer beaks, & smaller heads.

Do these pullets have a crow head?
I’m starting my own line of Black Copper Marans and wondering what that would look like. I want to make sure I don’t use any with a crow head in my breeding program.
