Crested pekin can't see

[badenglisch]

Crested Ducks actually don't have a closed skull. Some actually have a thick skin flap in the crest so trimming should be done with caution.

Oh heavens, i didn't know about a potential skin flap! Yikes! We gave her a trim this afternoon and i think it went ok, but husband thinks we need to take a bit more off. It's better than it was though. I'll post a pic of her 'do tomorrow

She may get up set wrap in a towel to immobilize those wings I bet once your finished she’ll be so happy to see. She is a cute and we want to see the bangs trim when done

Thank you for the advice everyone! I'm nervous about trimming, I'd hate to go too short and hurt her. We tried once before and i was pretty conservative and didn't really end up cutting that much. I have this image in my head of it being like cutting a dog's nail too short lol

Keep you hand holding the feathers close to the skin and clip on the other side not close to the skin. Like clipping you bangs holding the feathers up away .

Explain a vaulted skull to me, i'm really not sure

I'm only familiar with crested chickens which sometimes have an extra bump on their skull so the crest looks bigger. I don't know crested duck, so I'm unsure if they have that going on either. If it's all feathers you can't hurt them cutting the feathers shorter as long as they aren't molting and there's blood feathers.

I don't believe there's any molting going on right now, so hopefully that won't be an issue.
