Silver Swedish?

[azure_]

I recently discovered the Silver Swedish duck and am wondering where to get some, I have some questions... so here we go! Is it true that if I breed two Blue Swedish ducks I will get some silver Swedish? If I order blue Swedish from a hatchery some of them will be silver? I live in Massachusetts if that helps. Are there any MA silver Swedish breeders that you know of?

What I was told about the silvers, is they are super hard to find, but in july, if you contact metzer farms, supposedly they have some for sale, im going to try it next year, because I am in love with the silver swedish!!!!!!!

You have a 25% chance of producing silver swedish ducklings breeding 2 blues, the silver and the black are used to get blues!!

Atleast thats what I have read, I have no experience with breeding swedish or any duck...yet!!!!

Ok! I might just get some blue Swedish next year and either hope some of them are silver of get some blues and breed them hopefully getting some silvers. If your still looking by that point I'll be happy to give/sell you some unsexed silver Swedish ducklings, but you'll probably want sexed.

Yea, definitely!!! Its such a beautiful bird!!!! The blue is to, i love mine, but i was pretty blown away by the silver!!

If the silvers are anything like the blues, temperament wise, I would probably want a drake as well, just to have!!!! Create a nice colorful drake flock!!

Once I get get ducks I will definitely get a coop just for drakes.
