Breed? Sex? Help

[Mimi128]

Was thinking these were black Swedish but not to sure. They were hatched as a mix box. Only 1 baby has all black feet. The other 2 have orange and black feet. 2 of the babies have greenish beaks starting. Anyone can guess sexes?

You have two black swedish and one blue swedish. You can't tell the sex by looks yet. The best way is by sound. Females are the loud quackers, while drakes will be quieter sounding, raspy and like they have a frog in their throat.

Looking to find out theses 3 not the big one. I know he’s a blue Swedish. The 3 babies are the ones I am second guessing. One has all black feet. And one has yellow tipped wings.

It is possible they are mixed breed. Are the eggs from your flock or from somewhere else?

They were from somewhere else

I could see them being like a Cayuga and black swedish hybrid. Usually the black swedish have white tips and partially black feet. There are a lot of hybrids that can easily look like the swedish.

@cheezenkwackers is good at identifying breeds.

Thanks, but I only know the ones I have. These are not from a hatchery, correct? If they are a mix, they could be many things. There is an old thread called “mixed ducks” you can search for. It is the one with lots of posts. It has lots of pictures of different mixes. As I recall, many Pekin mixes end up looking similar to yours but so do Cayuga.
