crested ducks

Hey guys! So I am needing a second opinion on what breed and gender is my duck. I know the white one is a crested Pekin but I am having a little trouble identifying what gender he/she may be. The crested Pekin is about 4-5 months old. I thought she was a girl. However when I was out taking care...

Ok, I need a bit of clarification about crested ducks. I have a crested magpie and was a little confused about what that meant. (This is to also help @Birdylady78 with her thread) Is ‘crested’ a breed on its own, or does it always go along with a breed (crested Pekin, crested magpie, etc.)...

please please anyone that can help. My rooster, who as of today is no longer with us ...ripped the crest damn near clean off my pekin duck girls head. She was covered in blood head to tail when I got home and it just looks like bloody mushy skin at the top of her head where her crest USED to be...

We live in Savannah GA and when We bought our home 5 years ago, there were around 10 wild white crested ducks in our pond. Now, there are only 5 and one has laid 9 eggs under our utility trailer. We noticed the eggs probably 3-4 weeks ago but no mom was sitting on them. Several days later we...

I have a 9-year-old crested duck who has had 2 'attacks' in 3 weeks where she has completely lost all balance, wobbling all over the place, not being able to walk two steps without falling down. She gets quite panicky and at one point last night stopped being able to hold her neck up. Both times...

This may be a dumb question, but do all crested ducks have a skull deformity or is it the luck of the draw with some ducks being “normal” and others with disadvantages? I’m just curious because I feel like from everything I’ve read answers are all over the place.

My DH picked up my magpie ducklings this morning from ideal hatchery . I had asked for them not to send crested magpie ducklings... Can you tell if they are? I'm impatient to find out and I won't be home until 8pm. PS I paid for heat pad and no packing peanuts... What did they send RIR ?

I have 2 female crested ducks that I’d like to breed with my mallard. I know my crested ducks are cross bred. One I know is a runner x and the other I’m not sure but she’s black with a crest. My question is, will they be able to reproduce being cross bred? I’ve heard lots of different answers...
