Hi, Blue Swedish Ducks start laying at 6 months old. Mine started them and At about 8 months old they started to try breeding.

Hope this helps :3

my blue swedish girls are so loud, i'm afraid it's disturbing the neighbors

. especially Blue, she is my daughter's favorite, otherwise I would have to find her another home!

I have 3 blue swedish x Pekin mix ducks. 1 of them will let rip every now and then, 1 I only hear when shes about ready to lay an egg and the other I have never heard quack yet.

What colors do they come in besides blue?

Thanks

Blue, Black and Chocolate...1 of mine is more of a silvery lavander she has sliver and pale brown feathers...I have no idea what color you would call her...but then again she is a mix

My blueys are cute but they don't seem to lay much unless I've confused some Swede eggs for muscovy eggs, which is possible. I'll find out in about 25-30 days.

They quiet-ish, hate being penned. My silver is an egg eater - not sure if it's breed, don't think so - the guy was selling her suspiciously cheap.

They're very pretty and cute and like to play. And I never see them, well, to put it crudely... I don't see the Swedish ducks raping the chickens even 1% as often as I see the Muscovies do it. And that's helpful.

Not sure about comparisons, but we got 2 blues and 2 blacks this summer. They were pretty talkative. We loved it, and only have 1 full time neighbor, (the rest are seasonal), and he never complained. We did butcher them 2 of them this fall, and the other 2 were killed by a predator of some sort.

Now that my roosters are crowing, I dont know which would have been louder.

My Sweds havent started laying yet and i got them in march so im guessing late augest early september. They are pretty quite some of them but theres others that wont shut up along with the three pekins i have.

i just got 3 Swedish black ducklings they are 30 days old (based on feathering ) how long before i know if they are drakes or hens? also what will they do to my chickens (3 hens) if they are all drakes? this is my first time with ducks and i am also worried that i may have one hen will she be as bad off as our hens where when we got a straight run and ended up with 6 hens outta 25 chicks
