The Crested duck is a medium-weight, dual-purpose breed of domestic duck. Exact origin of the Crested duck is unknown, but they have been around since before the 1600s. They were portrayed in Dutch painting around the seventeenth Century.
The breed probably originates in the East Indies, with subsequent development in Europe. And it was probably brought to Europe form East Indies by Dutch ships. The Crested duck is truly striking with the powder puff of feathers on it?s head. The breed has such appearance because it is heterozygous for a genetic mutation causing a deformity of the skull.
Crested ducks came to the United States around the mid 1800s. The breed was admitted to the British Standard in 1910. Any color is permitted in the United Kingdom and in several other European countries.
