Black Crested Ducks
The Black Crested duck is black and iridescent green bird with a feathered crest on the top of the head. The Crested Duck first appeared for show in Great Britain, and have been popular to breed and raise for their unique appearance. Nearly all types of ducks can be bred to have crests on their heads, as it is actually a genetic mutation which allows tissue to emerge through a gap in the cranium.
Black Crested ducklings are completely black but will develop some greenish and possibly even white feathers as they mature. These birds are bred primarily to be pet Black Crested ducks, and egg producing ducks. we choose solid black crested ducks for a purer crest coloration.
Crested Ducklings are difficult to breed and hatch due to the precise genetic specifications necessary to produce the crest mutation. We do not recommended Crested Ducks for beginner breeders. However, if you are looking for a unique and cool pet, or a great bird to lay eggs, Black Crested ducks are a great choice. |
