Some of you might remember i posted about 2 of my ducklings not looking like the Rouen and Caygun I ordered.
And suggestions were Swedish, which I think I agree with,

I was wondering, do Swedish get very blue highlights over their tails back and wings, Louie and Pippa almost have all their feathers in with the prettiest bright blue sheen.

Normal?

they are a couple weeks older than this pic now.

My Black Swedish have iridescent blue and green feathers. When the sun hits them, they are quite shiny. The blue ones don't have that. Maybe these are a mix of some sort. They look Swedish.
 
True black ones at that age have indeed feathers around the wing with a green lustre.
I have purchased many 'black' ducklings. That turned out to be brown when adult.
There is black and black-black. It is hard to explain.
The blackness is not strong in these ones.
I think in my profile picture you can see that the bottom one is 'black-black'. The other two with black in them, especially the upper-left, are a colour of black that makes me doubt...probably not black.
Please give updates with pictures; because no matter what colour they will turn out everyone loves duckpictures :)
 
Thanks all ..
I am pretty sure one that I named pippa is a drake and the one names Louie is a girl lol I cant' get anything right with my ducks.. sheesh .. well lucky for me it doesn't matter anyway I love them just the same
