What breed of ducks do you have? I've always wanted to try those but so far, have just raised chickens

Ducks are so much fun. Messy, messy, messy, but fun. I mean just their waddle-run cracks me up. They are definitely the comic relief of the group. I have several different breeds of ducks. I have Pekin, Swedish Blue, Saxony, and this summer the Swedish blue drake bred with the Saxony hens and five beautiful hybrids hatched out. Two ended up with Swedish black coloring, one looks like his drake father which is the blue, and then I'm not sure what to call the silver and white one. I've never seen that exact color before. And the final fifth one actually had a Pekin drake father and she is pure white like he is. Then because my male:female ratio was causing issues with overbreeding, I ordered two white crested and two blue runners hens and they are about a week old now.
