A lovely do! Just looked this up on Animal Planet: This crest is actually caused by a genetic mutation that duck breeders have selected for. It causes a duck to be born with a gap in its skull, which is filled with a growth of fatty tissue. It's from this growth that the pouf of feathers sprouts. #1389187
