They're certainly a pretty breed....but in Australia would they just be called "Crested Ducks"?

HI b&p also turkey girl
I know we have crested ducks here but what was advertised was an ancona duck
which as far as I've been able to find out the person who has them shouldn't have them.
I've been told he possibly illegally got them into the country which is why I decided against them.

Silvermissy what I am saying is they look just like the "Crested Duck" that is both on the site link Jase gave as well as other pics that I have seen of breeders birds here in Oz.

Do crested ducks gain their crests at maturity (ie flat feathering when born/young) or are they like Polish etc and the crest is quite distinguishable from a very early age?

I know some of my d'Watermael have very flat head feathering as babies but than gain their crests a bit later on at adolesence.

If Ancona's are actually "crested ducks" in Aust than I find it hard to believe or understand how they would be illegal AND unless you have hard eveidence that these birds have entered the country illegally your claim is false and could lead to court action by the advertiser of these birds. As they are advertised at a mere $100pr I find it hardly likely they are illegal birds.

The advert for those interested is http://www.farmstock.com.au/Classifieds/sale/54604.html

Good advise Drew, you would want to see them first before parting with ANY money.
