Description
We stopped at a Bed and Breakfast during a drive we took and were invited to walk around the property, which had beautiful gardens and a fabulous sizeable pond. To my surprise I noticed the ducks taking up residence there had these poofs on their heads. We were amazed to see this. After meeting with the owner, he talked about the Pekin breed of duck and how friendly they are and make great pets. He came across this breed of Pekin and purchased them for his pond. They are domestic ducks, that are a descendent of the Mallard. They are bred for meat and eggs, which I did not want to hear, but I was assured these ducks were pets and there to stay. This is one very well dressed duck!!!
