hi I'm new here

[DuckoJadeo]

My name is Jade I'm 37 years old I'm new to laying duck eggs. I've done my first batch I had a success rate of 50% on Rouens. I do have some crested eggs I'm pretty sure it's only the mom that's crescent. So my question is if it's only one crescent parent can the gene double that way? Or do I need a male and a female crescent to make the gene double?

Hello Jade, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I have no idea what you'll get from that pairing.

Hello! Welcome! I can't answer your question as I am a newbie myself, but I am glad you've more than likely come to the right place!

Hello Jade! Greetings from my coop!
Crested ducks are quite tricky, If you do end up getting a crested duck double gene, They will most likely die in the shell or some may come out without the crested head, How to get the crested gene to double may not happen with just one parent there's a chance but its small according to the web, But if you want a guaranteed chance you will need two crested ducks (Male and Female)
