Blue Swedish Crested... s/he is just lovely! Now where would I find some of these beauties? I have GOT to have me some of them! ha ha ha I'll even take eggs and incubate them if that's the only way I can get them. Absolutely gorgeous! And I like things that are a bit different from the norm. That certainly qualifies.

The chicken in question reminds me of my chicks last year. I have Brown and Black Sex-link hens with a Black Sex-link roo. So the chicks are mutts.

Here is a pick of one.

I ordered them from Ideal. They were $5.50 each. I bought less ducks then chickens, but spent more in the ducks!

Yeah ducks do tend to cost a bit more. Maybe because they're not quite as common. But, I love a good roasted duck from time to time. Oops! ha ha That doesn't mean I can't enjoy the appearance of my breeding stock though now does it?

The sad thing I learned AFTER buying the crested ducks is that it is a genetic defect and that sometimes the ducklings will hatch out with their brains exposed. Since learning this, I decided we won't be breeding these and will be either auctioning them off at the fair or butchering them.
