Main question...thank you though

Most ducks with black feathers will have a green sheen to them, but not turn green like a drake's head. How are yours looking--any pictures?

Yea but I mean GREEN...the rest of her body is black but her head is really green like a Mallard Drake. She almost looks like a Mallard Drake in Eclipse phase because of the green feathers just stating to come in. Most of what I have read says that Black Swede Drakes get the green head feathers. So...Do female Black Swedish Ducks have green feathers on their head?

Not that I am aware of...I have never personally seen a female with a "mallard green" head--nor have I seen pictures or descriptions in breed specifications that would suggest otherwise for females. But I am no expert--just speaking from my own experiences.
