The
White Crested duck
is a classic breed, having records of its presence as early as 1660 due them being in paintings of Jan Steen. Other Dutch painters such as d'Hondecoeter, Dirk Wyntrack (1670), Peter Casteels III (1723) and Aart Schouman (at the end of the eighteenth century) also show Crested ducks. Interestingly the Crested duck was admitted into the American Registry (1874) before the British Registry (by 1910). Though they can make a good utility bird (eggs and meat) their popularity waned and it wasn't until the 1980s that their popularity rose again. The only crested breeders we have are White but we will occasionally have crested Blue Swedish, Rouen or Buff hatch. Any breed with a crest can be shown in the Crested class. The ideal crest is large, yet centrally located on the head. It is also not to be split into two lobes. According to several books, 25% of fertile eggs produced from Crested parents will die prematurely and 33% are supposed to hatch without crests. We do not seem to find this. In addition, over 90% of our White Crested ducklings have good sized crests. We do not sell a
White Crested duckling
unless it has a crest.

Happy and Healthy
Ducklings arrived when they said they would. Also happy and healthy. After a few weeks they're still doing good and we enjoy them.

Four ducklings died
I ordered 10 ducklings, 8 Crested & 2 Indian Runners. One Crested female & one Runner female were DOA, one Crested female & the other Runner female were weak & couldn’t walk & died later. My 6 Crested ducks that were left are almost 4 weeks old now & doing very well. I was given a refund for dead ducklings with no problem but I feel very bad about the ducklings that didn’t make it. I think the problem is the distance they had to travel in a small box, took over three days altogether to get to me & that is too long & not really California Hatcheries fault but I won’t get any more ducklings from them because they are too far away.
