I have paired him a few times with different plain head hens...but none of the creat come out very good. I did get one that was perfectly round but the feathers were so darn short.... looked like a trimmed beatle hairdo :lol:
I bought another crested male but he died while in quarentine :(

The chicks crest looks pretty good so far, his mother's crest is not a full crest, sort of reminds me of your. The male crested from the second pair is a full crest, hoping for a few nie ones from him.
