silkies crest size and genetics

[caseebeths]

I have 3 white Silkie hens. One has a huge crest and if i breed her will her chicks have larger crests? Is it a dominant trait. Just wondering the genetics on Silkies crest size.

Yes the crest is dominate(go look at some silkie crosses, they are so cute) (and if you have beared-muffed that too is dominate) Having a larger crest may not happen F1, but with some time you should get larger crests
