Thank you! I also have a Mallard/Khaki Campbell hen, the other two's half sister.

Here are my two Mallard/Buff hens I hatched this fall. And their parents.

Haha! I doubt it, because I think Swedish were bred a while before Buff ducks were around. Amazing how similar they are though!

Great pictures! They look like Blue Swedish!

Sorry to heat that! That's interesting, when you can get a picture please post it!

Yes, that's right. The blue ones are kind of chocolately/brown when they are in juvenile plumage, as you can see in this picture. Then they become more blue.

They are beautiful! Sorry for the late reply! The darker buff colored hen on the right is Ella, I'm afraid I don't have any better picture of her. And this is Fin her brother.

Ah too bad. Your drakes don't fly? My drake seems to enjoy flying a lot more than she does. I took some tonight, busy weekend so next week I'll probably upload them. I have a few other ducks too.

If it is a wildtype colored duck and a standard Buff drake, they will be sex-linked. Blue and chocolate drakes and buff lilac hens. They are beautiful! It's crazy how they look EXACTLY like mine. Do yours fly much?

I figured out mine are definitely sex-linked. I think yours are different because you have snowy mallards not wild-type mallards. That's interesting, I'm guessing its just a random spot, or maybe is it from the snowy mallards?

Beautiful! My ducks have never been good at posing! Two Buff/Mallard ducklings hatched! One looks like a Apricot duckling, and the other is kind of a blue mallard color. I cannot wait to see what they look like as adults! Is it possible that they are sex-linked? One is so much different than...

@schatze they are getting more beautiful all the time! That's great you got 3 females and one male! I don't think males are usually dominant, some of my hens are dominant over the drakes and they are adults.

They are really pretty! I forgot, were they raised by a broody or hatched in a incubator?

Okay cool! They should hatch on the 29th, I can't wait!

Oh wow, the parents are a lot different from mine! @Senna95 , will the ducklings from these two look anything like schatze's?

Well, I might have been wrong on that. My Buff drake didn't go into eclipse, he just molted. So maybe only Mallards do? They are pretty! Please keep posting as they grow! Thank you so much! Will the females retain the pattern of a mallard, or not?

I'm excited to see how they turn out!

I'm not positive, but I think so.

Well yes, pekins and runners don't change colors, but they still do technically have a eclipse plumage, it just looks the same. That's strange your WH never changes. I've heard that all mallard derived ducks go into eclipse.

Oh, younger than mine even then! Don't runners and pekins go into eclipse?
