Duck Crossbreed Question

[Soos-Quacken]

I’ve already posted something like this on the duck specific forum, but still haven’t really gotten much of an answer. I recently hatched some of my Indian runner eggs, and the dad’s a blue Swedish. I’m just curious what the ducklings will grow up to look like (I’ll attach a picture of the mamma)

She's sooo protective right now, almost lost my finger taking that picture

They will be blue and black bibbed like Swedish.

Anyone here breeds Mulard Ducks? They seem to be the go to duck on Foi Gras production but have not seen one in person or in picture.

And will they be upright like a runner?

Some of them may. The standing up nature often depends upon the ducks around them. Ducks are sort of communist in that they shun all individuality and try to act completely alike. Unfortunately, I once raised Runners with Calls and got a couple of slouchy fat Runners.
