Hi folks -
Need a bit of help.
I have a beautiful little "accident" here - she hatched from a bantam Polish egg, and was evidently fathered by one of my serama roos (not really what I was expecting - LOL!). She's a nice sort of "mottled" chocolate color (or dun, I guess, from her Polish mom), and so far, she's tiny, she has a single comb, yellow legs/feet, and her body style is more along the lines of a serama than it is Polish.
One problem: she has a little mohawk-ish crest. Its cute as all get-out, but I just don't see the "crested serama" catching on...
So, if I breed her back to seramas, and select her offspring for little or no crests, and continue breeding them back to seramas, how long will it take to get rid of that crest? Is it really worth attempting? To keep the chocolate color, I mean?
Thanks so much!
