I just looked up blue Swedish ducks, and they look just like them! How bizarre! I wonder if that's how Blue Swedish ducks cane to be? Are there snowy mallards and buff ducks in Sweden traditionally? My ducks have two different snowy mallard mothers but the same buff father.

Haha! I doubt it, because I think Swedish were bred a while before Buff ducks were around. Amazing how similar they are though!

Are these buff orpington mallard hybrid?

Not sure. One looks like a Blue Swedish, the other, maybe a Fawn and White Runner mix.
