The silver male sounds like a gray, there's plenty types of those but some just call any gray a gray. The blacks and the description of a lot of leg and neck, not sure. Cuban and Spanish Games have a lot of leg, but throw in any more leg or neck and you're looking at Oriental crosses.


Nice birds, all. Greybear23, do you have any pictures of Toppys with the actual crest on them? I know it's small and preferred be, but I was expecting someone to have a little tuft of feathers protruding from the back of the skull.

Is there any others on here that Have pure Toppies? I have noticed in my bloodline that the Cocks are loosing their topknot as they get older. has anyone noticed this on thiers? Illia I will try to get some closeups for Lynn

Here is a pic of one of my Toppy cross Hatch(I call them Copper Blues) I have a pair of brothers almost identical in color, one haa small topknot and the other doesn't, hare is a pic of the one that does!

Here are some pics of the Toppy x Hatch brother that is not topknotted! (do not look at the date stamp on the photos, it is wrong, can't get it set right!!!)

Here is a pic of the two brothers together when young! I know some of you will think they are not game, they were raised with two other stags and 8 pullets up untill about this picture, I then had to sepperate them as they started testing each other! They are slow matureing but they are Game!!!

Here are some close ups that I took a few years back, will try to get some better ones! Lynn

When you cross a toppy line with a hatch line, you can't expect them to all have the topnot.

The gene for a vaulted skull is recessive, but the actual topknot/crest is dominant. That's why it can still pass on to outcrossings, however in most cases only 50% of your outcrossed offspring or even purebred, just with a bird without the topknot, will end up with such. The way to get 100% is by breeding topknot X topknot, which then you might possibly increase the size of such, too. But you'll also still likely, depends really, get 25% no topknot. But otherwise, if you have a bird with no topknot and breed it to another line, you have no topknots. Breed a bird with a small one like most Toppys, you'll get 50/50.

I emailed you a few weeks ago, so yeah, find my last email and send it there.

Or you can continue posting here. Love that blue hen.
