In other species: Mallard , rock pigeon , chicken , budgerigar , ringneck dove
Categories: Integument (skin) phene
Single-gene trait/disorder: yes
Disease-related: no
Key variant known: no
Cross-species summary: Also called feather-crested head.
History:
Groot and Wandelt (2026) investigated cranial variation in domestic geese from a 17th-century archaeological
site in Germany and concluded that the "cranial defects are consistent with a crested phenotype and display variability in severity of defects associated with crestedness."
