She might be a light colored splash Swedish. I can see some speckling in the feathers and she is not white. I'll have to go outsde and look at teh bill color on my splash Swedish duck, but I'm pretty sure it is not black. On the other hand, hatchery ducks often do not have the correct bill...

The entire point of purebred animals is that they reproduce reliably. You know before you do the breeding what the hatchlings (or puppies, or kittens, or calves) will look like, how large they will grow, what their feed conversion and laying will be like, plus a pretty good idea of what...

[[[[......Why wouldn't you consider her a Swede?......]]]]]] Body shape is wrong, head shape isn't quite right. Markings are completely wrong and well beyond merely "mis-marked". I've seen a lot of badly mis-marked Swedish ducks from hatcheries, but even the worse adhere vaguely to the...

[[[[......She is not a cross......]]]]] She's not a purebred Swedish, either. So if she isn't Swedish and she's not a cross, she is some other breed.

Cayuga ducks come in solid blue as well as solid black. So there are solid blue medium size duck shaped ducks. I suspect that nobody gets a blue Cayuga without knowing what it is. So far, they aren't exactly wandering around homeless on the street corners. If I can remember to do it, I'll...

APA SOP calls them "Blue Swedish Ducks". The British Standard calls them Blue Swedish Ducks. The Australian standard calls them Blue Swedish Ducks. I think that the German/ Polish standards, where they originated, call them something else, but it isn't "Swedes". They are actually Pomeranian...

[[[[........it'd be great if you could get one of Oregon Blues's drakes. .....]]]]] Thank you so much for the lovely compliment. However, I just got my Blues (from Ohio) this spring and I still don't know what I've got. The seller's ethics were less than stellar. The ducks look really nice...

Where are you located Evelle? I'm about to butcher a couple of exhibition quality blue drakes, if you happen to be close to me. Your ducks are very nice. You've got a good start. I suggest that you purchase yourself an American Standard of Perfection 2010 edition. It's a beautiful book and...

SOP Blue Swedish: Drake, bill, greenish blue Duck, bill, blueish slate drake, typically one or two shades darker than the ducks Drake, head, dark blue, sometimes approaching black with a green sheen Duck, head same color as the general body color. Feathers should be laced with blue and...

70%cocoa, very nice hatch this time.

Crazy cat lady, indeed a blue and a black. I would suspect about 50/50 blue or black if you breed them. Statistics are averages of large numbers, so your mileage might vary.

My splash ducklings have not been hatched yellow. They look like very faded blues, and obviously splotchy looking. Then the color fades even more and they get lighter, sometimes ending up such a pale silver that they are nearly while. Sorry, I don't have a photo.

70%cocoa, cute babies. If it helps, you can keep a spray bottle inside the incubator (so it is temperature adjusted) and I suspect it would be possible to spray just the eggs losing too much moisture and not spray the others. It's worth a try.

Blue juvenile. Juvenile feathers. There's still baby fuzz on his rump, over his tail. That's a Pekin behind him. Exactly the same age, to the day. Even though all you can see is the chest of the Pekin, the size difference is really obvious.

Silver, or maybe it's lavender. This color is called different things in different breeds. Ducklings are brown, have the proper bib. Adults are darker silver than the Splash adults. This is not a showable color, but the duck is purebred Swedish.
