A Thruple of ducks

[AvianAva]

@KKicons the black duck I got labeled a "black runner duck" but she never stood up like one and after a couple of years of having her started to develop white spots I don't know if it's out of stress or just randomly occurring.

Black ducks turn white as they age.

@Miss Lydia shes about 3 and a half years old now and that's a cool fact I didn't know that!

I have Black Runners that are 6.5 yrs old and they all started turning white after age 2. Even my blue Runner is more white than blue now.

@Miss Lydia That's pretty cute would you ever share pictures?

 

[Miss Lydia]

2 girls use to be black and my blue Runner. Also my Muscovy that use to be blue and blue fawn are almost white now. they re 11 and 10 yrs old.

[Miss Lydia]

Btw Pyxis, is one of those my breed, blue swedish?

The white is Pekín, the mallard looking one is probably a drake Rouen(I have some that just started to get their gray feathers), and honestly I’m not sure for the black spotted one. I have never heard of a Cayuga turning white, and it doesn’t have the sheen- ️they actually do turn white so disregard this sry so it might be a Cayuga-️ I don’t think Ancona becaus they are usually mostly white. Maybe a mix of something? Blue Swedish are more gray than black and have defined chests. Yours is probably a mix of something.
This photo is of a blue Swedish, so I don’t think your is. And he doesn’t really stand like a runner so probably not one.

Yes Cayuga do turn white
@shawluvsbirds has this breed.
