If you were closer I'd sell you eggs! I've got 3 full blooded magpies so I'm sure I could breed them and come out with some good marked ones.

So we have 2 ducks, we got two when they were babies but one was stolen as an adult so we got another. But we're stumped, I think shes runner blue Swedish mix. Then we have another and he I'm pretty sure is magpie. Any help would be greatly appreciated
