blue swedish

I have one Blue Swedish female duck that I need to rehome. We call her Basil. We had a flock of 4 and unfortunately, they all got ill last Winter, and she is the only one who survived. She now is very healthy and doing great! She is terribly lonely without her flock, and we do not intend to get...

Hello there! 👋🏻 Recently my ducks started laying eggs! We are so excited because my chickens are slacking lately. lol I'm curious to know what everyone's opinions are on this. I have (1) female Blue Swedish, (2) female Mallards & (2) female Cayugas. I also have a "mutt". She's a very dark...

I have (4) Blue Swedish Ducks that I am selling to a GOOD HOME. They are two & a half months old, only a few weeks off from laying fresh eggs! 🥚 I can sell as pair, only. (ex. must take a male & female or all 4.) They are $35 per pair or $50 for all. I do have other ducks available that I'm...

Here is a video I took tonight of a Blue Swedish duckling in the incubator on Day 29. It externally pipped and 36 hours later started to zip. We lightly helped clean some loose shell away and used a q-tip to lightly coat the membrane/chick with bacitracin because we noticed it appeared to be...

I am no expert on Blue Swedish by any means, but I am a biologist and have some fowl research experience (specifically the amazing hemoglobin of the Bar-Headed Goose), and a pretty decent foundation in husbandry and genetics. I may be suffering from confirmation bias, but recently I've seen...

What would make a female duck NOT lay eggs at all? She’s a Blue Swedish from a hatchery, exactly one year old. I’m 100% positive she is female, as she has laid 2 or 3 eggs her whole life. Hers are the only ones of my 4 ducks that are green and not white. All 4 of my ducks are happy, healthy...

Hellllloo. I've currently been a duck mother for 3 weeks (I think) Grabbed 5 babes from TSC, I'll post all of them just to show. The only ones I know for sure are the 2 Pekin. BUT THIS ONE duck.. the lone ranger, odd man out, brown one. What is it? Golden 300 drake? That's the best guess I...

I have 3 blue swedish ducks (out of six total ducks) they are supposed to be female they all SOUND like females. but one has an olive green bill and another has a greenish blue bill and they both have sort of green flecks of irridencent feathers on their heads. I read that Drakes have green...

Can you help me identify the gender and breed for some of these ducks please? I am mostly concerned about the gender of the big 4 ducks. I hope they are not all males or I would have to separate them from my mallard and blue Swedish. Also if you can tell the gender of the black blue Swedish. I...

Is this duckling a blue swedish?

Are these Muscovy ducklings? I have 4 ducklings that are brown and yellow feet are orange and brown, some have yellow around the eyes like yellow eyeliner. They have a dark purplish bill. I have two that are blue and yellow feet are the same as the brown ones. Dark bill, close to black but not...

Hi, my duck Stormy is Picked on a lot by my drake ducks. The last couple days I have noticed when I pick her up, that she has a bump on her chest or on her spine. I’ve never noticed it there before. Is something wrong with her? is there something I need to do? the red on the second picture is...

I went out this morning and my duckling was acting really sick, not moving much very tired and out of it, couldn’t walk, found he was all crusted underneath, we clean that area and he’s pooped a couple times but he seems to be getting worse still. What do I do?

My family and I have recently started raising ducks, and while we were planning on 4, an unplanned male was shipped to us and we're now up to 10 to allow for 4 females per drake. Our most recent shipment arrived today, all females consisting of a Blue Swedish, a Welsh Harlequin, a Buff, and a...

So we got 3 ducks last year (Ash, Honeydew, and Pepper Hence my username lol), and we were curiously looking for more to add to our flock. When we ran across the silver swedish ducks, they're gorgeous! But I couldn't find any hatcheries or local farms that sold them. The only way I seemed to be...

My beloved one-eyed Pekin Quackers who sadly crossed the rainbow bridge with the help of the nasty raccoon I sent away. She stole my heart and started this whole duck thing. Well after my disaster with raccoon part 2 I was left w/ 1 rather wild Rouen. I had a giant hole left in my heart in...
