Yes, the little duck is so cute he makes me want one. We already have so many chickens that it's crazy, so I better not even get started on ducks!

My husband would have a stroke if I brought a duck home. He started with 9 chickens about 2 1/2 months ago and now, thanks to me, we have 65!

no, your duck is not a crested mallard, it is crested though and looks like either a magpie or ancona, can I has it?

is thee such a thing as a crested mallard?

yes, Ideal has them, I has a crested hen, can't wait for crested babies next year

, I've been considering seperating my mallards into their own pen.​

Im so confused them...I contacted the seller and she said it had to be from her mallard pair-or one other pair she had-beautiful ducks with crests-white and grey ones? anyway with only 4 ducks it could have come from I figured they had to have cross bred accidently to come up with this little fella-can you tell what colors it will be at this age? I thought it would be black with white?

well, if it's a mallard, it's a mix, I have a mallard mix duckling that looks like a blue swedish.

and unless the person kept her ducks seperate she would have mixes out her mix! LMAO.

as far as color, the color is set, it'll be black and white, and the markings will most likely stay the same, it'll be absolutely gorgious I'll tell you that!

if it's girl, can I borrow it in 6 months to get some eggs out of her? LOL

LOL, I'm just a sucker for crests,and mottled feet, and Magpies and Ancona looking ducks, stick all those together, on one duck, and I'm hooked!

my very first baby duckling, Templeton which I think is a girl, I hadn't noticed until about a week or so ago, had TRI-colored feet, her feet are black, blue AND pink/yellowish.

but that sounds great, it'll take a while though LOL, I want some more crested ducks lol
