Black Ducks?

Without a pic, its hard to say, but could be: Black Swedish(if it has a white chest), Cayuga(most likey if solid black) or Black east indie(doubtful)

Thats why i asked about the white on the chest

Since black swedish are similar to cayugas
 
might just be a really poor quality runner. My first black runner (that came from a TSC, that came from ideal) rarely stood upright and didn't have the right head shape of a runner. Her daughter thats a mix of mallard and runner, body wise she looks like a black mallard.
 
I am interested to know the answer too, because I have some that sound how you ddescribe, only one had really faint eye striping, and now she is black, but today I noticed she has a white spot around the neck, but she also has brown lacing around her breast like a dark khaki. Mine are from Ideal too, and I know they have khaki campbells, but mine is so dark, I can't say that's what she is, also my other one is black with a small white spot of center on the neck area. Both have dark legs and beak, so I am stumped

this is a pic of one, but all the light spots on the chest is fluff growing out, the feathers on the chest aren't white

this is the faint eye stripe that one has
 
It could be a cayuga with white on it, but that eyestripe says swedish to me. Ideal isn't exactly known for good quality birds.

Take this pic for example, the cayuga (from a TSC, thats from Ideal) has brown tinge on the chest, the bill is the wrong color, and he has orange legs!! not to mention the fact that he has a white patch on his neck on the opposite side (of course you can't see it in the picture

) o and did i mention he had white tipped speculum feathers.

The little girl with the eye stripe has brown on her chest just like your cayuga, and a small white spot, they both do. Well now I am super confused, I guess it's narrowed down a little, either both cayuga, both black swedish, or one of each.
