Please Tell Me the Quackerettes Don't Have a Problem

Thanks for all the quick responses. That makes me feel so much better.

So we shouldn't fool with it, right? Does this mean that the girls are kinda rare?

Don't fool with the crest. No need to do anything at all.

I wouldn't say that ducks with crests are particularly rare. They pop up regularly, especially out of hatchery stock.

The actual Crested Duck breed may be considered rare in the US but I am not sure. You don't see them here in Australia very often. Their crests are much bigger that your girls' crests. Here's a link to some info about Crested Ducks...Edit - I can't get the link to show properly, I'm very sorry... Maybe give Google a try

Thanks for the info and the link. They even had a picture of a Khaki.

I love BYC. Everybody is so helpful.

That seemed to work!!

ps. I like your signature: "Advocating dry, tongue-in-cheek humor since 1979." That is pretty funny.

Today we took our girls out for a swim - and noticed that Goose has a small poof on the top of his/her head as well! I didn't think Mallards had this - maybe she's a mix as well:
You can see it pretty well against the black of Daffy.

It looks like the quakerettes are just adding a little bling to their already cute faces!
