Silkie dad and Houdan mom. Her name is Wanda and she is very small and sweet. The roosters started crowing at 4 weeks old and she started laying at 4 months.

its genetically weird how only her crest show mottling.. maybe something on the silkie is allowinig this recessive trait to partially show?

I agree! pretty cool actually. I've heard of people, for example, breeding a black mottled cochin with a black cochin, and the offspring have really light mottling on the end of some feathers...

the cool part is, her head gear is the place we see it, which make her stand out

Her mom was mostly black when she was her age and got more white with each molt and now is mostly white. I'm hoping the same happens with her. The roosters had more mottling in their crest than she does.
