This is Polly my exuberantly crested Silkie. She is the one that made me first think of tying up her "hair" into a "do". With her crest down, she can't see a thing. With it tied up she looks around, startled.

I know with some breeds of dog, it is important to leave their fringes in place....but is this amount of crest really desirable in a Silkie? I have two other Silkie pullets from ZZ who can see quite well, although the are very puffy. With Polly, the way the crest forms a rounded helmet makes it impossible for her to see.

I feel bad for her.
