I’ve also noticed that Easter eggers are prone to crossbeak, a lot of the ones posted in this forum tend to be EEs.I’ve only ever had bearded birds show crossbeak. 4 so far. 2 in my Easter eggers, whom I suspect to simply carry the genes for beak deformities, and 2 of my bantam ameraucanas. Whether that was genetics or an incubator mishap, i Don’t know.
I don’t mind. You explained it better than I could. My understanding of the topic boiled down to “beards don’t cause crossbeak, but bearded birds are just a bit more likely to show crossbeak than a non bearded bird.”
