The last picture of the first set I posted has a picture of him, but you can't see it too well. I'll try and get a better pic of him. He's so cute.

Your crested is a mixed breed. The APA recognizes the black and white varieties with a crest as a crested duck. The breeding of the crest trait can pose a challenge. a lot of full blooded crest duck have health problems like skeletal deformities and balance problems.

When he/she gets to be a adult you will need to keep the crest trimmed all the way around in a small poof ball. If you don't it can grow to get to heavy and flop to one side. This can cause neck problems and also if that eye is covered and it doesn't get much light, they can turn blind. Being that yours is mixed the crest may not get very bid, you never know.


They are all so adorable. I love how they have such a hard time walking, even with their big flat feet lol.

You'll need to get pics when they get thier fist swim.
