Breeding blue ducks?

[extraordinaryfowl]

Just curious, are the blue genetics for ducks the same as chickens (excluding self-blue)? If you breed blues together will you get black and splash as well with types like Blue Runners and Blue Swedish? Thanks

I've got blue ducks and it is a standard Black Blue Splash genetics.

Thanks, is that for Blue Swedish? So you would get blue black and splash from breeding two blue?

Yes, when I breed 2 blue Swedish together, I might get black, blue, or splash. With my line of ducks, the splash is a dark silver, but the splash can be almost white with silver shadings.

It is the same with blue Runners, blue Cayugas, blue Hookbills, blue Calls...............
