I have a Welsummer/EE cross rooster. Father is welly, mother is EE.

The roo has beautiful feathering (I think), a nice carriage (I think) and a ugly comb. He also has a beard.

If I wanted to breed to keep the feathering but toward a pea comb how would I breed him?

I still have both of his parents (the EE mom is a little iffy) and I have both male and female offspring from him. None have his beautiful feathers (but they are only 6 months old) but several have a pea comb.

Here are photos....I'm sorry for the poor quality bottom photo, its from our game cam.

that will depend on if you want a pea comb welsummer looking birds or a welsumer colored EEs, crossing back to EE will give you 50% chicks that look like his color and better comb, but they will look like welsumer colored EEs... if you 100% welsumer colored birds that have pea comb, then crossing back to Welsumers will do it
