Okay, but what if they're BLACK Swedes? Does the same duck bill color thing help with sexing with them?

I hope its the same, since mine are silver and not blue(well one black)

Quote:
The only thing I can find regarding differances in sexes for black colored ducks in Holdereads's book says:
Ideally, both sexes have jet-black plumage with iridescent emerald sheen covering as much of the surface as possible, black bills (even the best-colored drakes usually have a bit of green or blue at the tip), and black to dusky black legs and feet (normally shaded with more or less orange in mature drakes).
