It’s a three piece and walk by ducks around the neighborhood 😂
 
A crest is literally a hole in the skull bone that is plugged with fatty tissue, forcing the feathers to grow in a steep angle to form the crest. Additionally crested ducks are prone to mental disorders and disabilities.
For crested hens every mating poses a thread, as the drake grabs on to the ducks neck or head. If they catch the crest they may rip it out, killing the poor duck.
Crested drakes are in danger during drake fighting for the same reason.
I never wanted crested ducks, but Ideal Poultry "blessed" me with two crested black Swedish ducks (i had ordered Magpies!) and since then the crest has popped up in several ducklings, i now have the two crested ducks and two crested drakes, with LeeRoy Brown being the largest duck i have. He stands four feet tall if he wants to and snatches samiches right from your table.
You make me miss my LeeRoy Brown. She was a good duck.
