Did you breed him before? Lack of wattles could be just because of the beard as well.

Beard also has an effect on wattle growth.

I've bred him, just didn't keep his offspring. The Blue Partridge Rooster has the same comb type, which I kept his offspring. His offspring have the same comb type as him.

Here's my link.

My SQ silkies seem too be Modified Pea since they lack wattles, & have a Dulap instead.

Have you looked at the link I posted?

According to the link, a Silkie with a walnut comb (pea + rose) can have the same restricted wattles as one with a pea comb, since they both have the pea genetics.

Okay.

The tail set, or angle I want is straight, or low set.

Gonna attempt to keep Malay high in the bloodline.

So, I'm gonna attempt to shorten the breeding order again.

Parent cross, Father X Daughter.

F0, X Malay 2 generations.

F0/Malay(Best Looking Offspring)X Cracker Hens, bred for 2 generations.

F0/Malay/Crackers X Malay/Sumatra

F0/Malay/Cracker/Malay/Sumatra X Easter Egger bred for 2 generations.

F0/Malay/Cracker/Malay/Sumatra/EE X American Game cross.

Refine the breed, last step.

Breeding order finally shortened, & less confusing.

I'm probably gonna be doing a mini project along with my original. Either calico silkies, or rainbow laying silkies.

I have a Question regarding the Wheaten coloration.
Is it normal for the females to have white Speckled patterned hackles?

I'll get a picture later.
