My two week old crested duckling had this weird growth on the side of her face. It appeared last week and has grown in size. This is probably triple the size it was when it first appeared. Does anyone know what this is?
Hey!
First, I’d like to thank everyone who responded on my last post. Your advice and kind words really mean a lot! 💗
One of the ducklings I got on Friday is a crested pekin. It’s about a week old according to the lady I bought it from. It’s been very active, eating and drinking, going potty...
Hello all!
My partner and I recently started raising ducks and chickens, and about a month ago received a crested duck, day-old from a hatchery, along with 9 other ducklings.

Almost 3 weeks ago I picked up 2 ducklings from tractor supply. I already have 14 cayuga, a blue swedish and 2 buff ducks. The ducks did great in the brooder the first week and have since moved into their own little coop outside. The crested duck started out with a small ball of fuzz on her head...
Ok, I need a bit of clarification about crested ducks. I have a crested magpie and was a little confused about what that meant.

ill post a better pic (this was straight out of the hatcher) but I hatched a grey call who looks to be crested, but the odd thing is that it’s a poof at the BASE of his neck! No wry neck, no fluid, it’s just like a crest but MUCH lower! Has anyone seen this before?
