Our Blue Swedish ducks -photos

[Wyo Chick]

The duck that is splashing in the water is a terror! He gets in the pool and rolls around, throws water and the other 3 ducks run out of the pool!!! It is very funn!.

Yes, but so do some of the females. Our flock has now doubled since this post was originally posted. The Blue Swedes have hatched more Blues, some Blacks, a Lavendar and a Splash. We now have 24 Swedes and 2 geese.

I want a black swede sometime in the future, how do they behave compared to other ducks? I'm trying to decide between black Swedish and a pekin. I might get one of each (I have a small backyard and only have room for two)

Our Swedes were hand raised so they are very friendly and sociable. They are great at foraging and good egg layers. They are curious and often like to untie my shoe laces, yank braclets off and stick their beaks in our pockets looking for anything to get into. They are like two year old kids. We love them and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good duck breed.

Lol. My family still thinks I am crazy for wanting pet ducks. My friend has some and after all the stories she tells me I decided that I NEEDED some. But everyone thinks I'm crazy. Hopefully I can convince them otherwise! I am a little worried about them coming through the mail though. You have a very cute flock by the way!

I was worried about them coming thought he mail too, but they both came completely happy and healthy. Sadly, my moms dog killed one of the two on the second day I had them.
And I am I highschool now and my parent and sisters thought I was crazy for wanting chickens and ducks as pets, but now they love them too and love to tell people about them. Nobody else in out neighborhood has chickens or ducks, so they are always a big hit when people come to visit. Neighbors love to come see them. It's just a matter of hoping they will let you get them and, for me, talking about them constantly. They are about all I talk about. Ducks are the main conversation over dinner all the time. And my friends say that my ducks are the main conversation at their house too! I hope you are able to get your ducks! By the way, I have a blue swedish and black swedish too.
