These were my own eggs but my start came from John.I started with splits and added a lav roo from John with no crossing out.

Boy...that John guy has a lot weird genes show up from time to time. ;)

jerryse:
I never get tired of genetic surprises.Interesting stuff.In this case I would say it is a mutation.That John is a great guy to share the information about his genetic surprises.

Mike Gilbert:
Crests, different types of combs, different colors, feathered legs, and a host of other traits:  They all arrived on the planet via mutation at some point in time.   So yes, I agree this had to be a mutation.   I don\'t think there were any crested birds in the background of the silvers were there John?  Jerry, remember years ago when you hatched some silkied silvers?
That one might have been a recessive gene lurking in the line until the right two birds were mated up, but who knows?

Jean:
John, I think it\'s time you told everyone about your silkie \"problem\".  We\'ve caught you!  :p

But seriously, your place has produced some weird mutations.  What about that silver bird that was half male and half female?????
