Breed Origin:

Crested Ducks are a domestic breed that originated in Europe, although the exact origin of the breed is unclear. They are believed to have been developed in England during the mid-1800s from a mutation that caused a tuft of feathers to grow on the top of the duck's head.

Crested Ducks are primarily kept for ornamental purposes. Their distinctive crests make them popular for exhibition, and they are often kept in backyard flocks as pets.
