Blurry pictures as requested. 4 more still in calcium prison. Look at the s turds. They're crested. It must be my drakes. I borrowed some Saxony hens, not crested, mated them to my foundation drake, never produced a crested. I did this to get some size back because as I line bred they got smaller. Now I'm getting crested. Drakes need to go to freezer camp.

Also none of my half Saxony drakes are crested either. Sorry about the first egg poop.

Awww. I didn't know that the crested gene could be carried and not show. What a shame. Such cute little peepers, too!

Me neither. I'm shocked to be getting crested. These peepers will all need new homes. Also my current drakes and I will need a new drake to get rid of this crested gene. No more hatching till I get this figured out.

Sweet babies! - Yes, the crested gene is really hard to get rid of, its like the cataract gene in us humans. It can skip generations, only to re-surface without warning.

Tiny little crests hopefully won't cause any issues. Such sweet little ones.
