He is a nice one. If you breed them that way then yes they can have top knots. I've bred some of mine that way on purpose. Here are some: Rooster that I used for one breeding season. He was about 9/10 weeks in this picture. First one that I bred. Still have her. This isn't a real good picture though. Second one that I bred. Never used him in the breeding pen. Wished that I had, I've never gotten a rooster (crested) this good since.

Wow those birds are pretty. I am going to try and breed my one too!!! I have a hen that has a crest with a beard and muffs too. Her name is HennyPenny.

Wow that is over 2 hours from me. I don't know if it's a possibility. Do the sales run the entire time or just the last day?

Ever hear of this one? http://www.mbgba.com/upcoming_events

There is a sale area . Never know what will be in there . Best selection the first day but some will lower prices the last day because they do not want to take them home . Some are already sold and delivered at the show .

I don't know if EE can have a polish head????

This chick was hatched out by one of my broodies and his fluff of feathers on his head is about 3 times bigger than his siblings! Can I have other peoples thoughts please????
Here he is, he is about 4 1/2 weeks old!

The crested gene is out in the general EE population, and now Cream Legbar is being added to the mix, so it could be CL genes and they are blue egg layers too.

Back Cross him his mother you should get a higher % of crested chicks.

I usually breed mine back to the Easter Eggers, I get about 50-50 crested/non-crested. Right now though I have a new Polish (Red) rooster with them to add just a bit more Polish blood to them.
Then it will be back to EE. Trying to keep the green/blue egg going.

I think I also will be trying to breed like you are!

Nice looking chick, I was looking at this Trend when I saw your chick and I have a 3 week old chick that is starting to grow some hear feathers and has dark shank's and has five toe's cute little thing and once I get my new SD card for the camera I will be posting new photos of him s/he is a cross with one of my EE pullets and a French Molted Houdan roosters who was out with the free ranging EE's so I thank you for letting me know what this chick might look like .......
