Hi, does anyone know if there’s a way to tell early on if a Swedish flower chick will created or non-crested? I’ve been looking on the internet for info and pictures and am not having much luck. Hoping someone with Swedish flower knowledge can share some information :)
 
It doesn't show initially; both of these are crested

and these are the same two at about 4 months old, when it is clearly apparent

Thank you for the visual photos! The head on mine looks like yours with the fuzz. Did you notice any kind of difference ahead of time for where the comb was position? lower?
 
no I didn't sorry. I knew these would be crested as both parents are, so I didn't take any special interest in it.
 
I am noticing a crest on my 4week old Swedish :) and her comb has been more frontal since the day I received her. I think there might be a way to know if they are crested or not early on. By the combs position and the head on top just seemed more rounded and fuzzy than the other chicks I had in my order. I had a mix batch :)
