Cayuga or mixed

[Beaglegal]

This was the only pic I could get of the male but he looks the most Cayuga. No white, greenish head, black feet

My black Runners are turning white seems it’s the blacks that do this although my blue is turning too.

 

[Beaglegal]

Yes, I also strongly suspect this one is part Rouen because of the brown stripe

I think mama might have some Swedish in her. She has white on her wings like our Black Swedish’s do, which might be why the duck in question has white on his/her chest.

I wondered if she was full Rouen, she was mottled with white when she was sitting on the nest but has seemed to darken up a bit over the last few weeks

That was just my guess that she had something else in her, but now that I see the other Cayuga the speckling makes a bit more sense. The Rouen could’ve just had extra white on her wings but who knows

 

[Beaglegal]

I am wondering if it’s normal fo Cayugas to have the white. I know they can develop white feathers with age but these are only a few months old and haven’t started laying yet

Where did you get your Cayugas?

 

[Cyprus]

I see no pure cayuga ducklings.

Where did you get your Cayugas?

They came with our house, I’ve had them for about a month.

I see no pure cayuga ducklings.

Do you think the black and white female is a Cayuga? Maybe the Rouen is the mom of the ducklings even though she didn’t hatch them?
