@wakelys@monicac@linnypinny@romainz@pattyblue@monikozi@365projectorgdelia@brianm Thanks everyone. According to some research on the internet, if a duck has a crest or fluffy feathers on the top of its head, it is mostly likely a genetic defect that has some serious health implications. The fluffy hairdo grows out of a section of fatty tissue that covers a gap in the Duck’s skull. Luckily, this one seemed happy and otherwise healthy, so fingers crossed he continues that way.
What a beauty… never seen a crested one with the bonnet…. Just read the extra info in your comment and now I know why. Hopefully this one will be ok & will flourish.
Oh... i really thought this was a decorative natural growth. Hens have such hairdos and i thought it was the same case. But good that this one is happy.
