That is the cutest thing ever. No problems with the crest? I can see why so many love the crested ducklings.. I am in love now. {Hershey Kisses] sure makes me want to kiss on it.

No problems at all! He's so sweet and docile!

I just worry when he starts to mate that he could hurt Pearl by pulling on her crest, but I want to keep him and I want to possibly hatch eggs next year (obviously you cannot breed two crested together) and it would be so cool to see how a Pekin/crested khaki mix would turn out! Hopefully it will​ work out

Yes you'll have to keep an eye on the mating. Pekins mixed with other breeds of ducks make the cutest ducklings.

After thinking about it, I don't know if I will be able to let her mate. I can't keep an eye on them all the time and plus, if I was watching them all the time, it takes one second for it to happen and I feel like it's taking to much of a risk letting her mate. I don't know what to do, maybe it'll end up being a female. I'd absolutely love to hatch eggs but it's not at all worth pearl getting seriously hurt or killed. I think I have one cockerel out of the six chicks I got so I'm very happy, I've wanted a roo for hatching eggs and protection over the flock. So at least I can possibly hatch chicks next year

Oh yes that is a possibility too. Lets hope so.

If I had to guess, looking at the head and neck shape I would guess female .

Isnt her crest near the top of her head?Ducks usually grab the neck.i think crest were made a certian way so that their crest wouldnt get pulled out by drakes.

yeah it's near the top. I will just go with the flow for now, it's not for sure a drake, and even if it is a drake I decided will still keep him, unless he becomes aggressive. I don't think drakes ripping off crest are common, people breed them all the time

Here's a picture that gets a good view of her crest

yeah drakes go fir the below area,generlly unless its a young drake,takes them awhile to figure it all out.My hens usually always have bare necks,never heads.

She is a really nice looking duck.
