I have a blue swedish I think but it's molting for the first time and I'm seeing a few green feathers on his head what's that mean

Sounds like you might have a drake. All of my ducks with green heads have turned out to be boys.

This is a picture of my drake named Raylan.

Is it normal for male blue.Swedish to get green heads?

 

[Ren2014]

Yes, it can happen. I've mostly seen it in Black Sweds tho. Per Metzer Farms: to produce the blue color you must have heterozygote parents, meaning they have a black and a silver gene for feather color. I'm sure the green comes from the black gene.

That's nice to know thank you

I have one blue swedish drake and I love him! He is one of my friendliest ducks! I will get a picture of him up on here tomorrow

I have two Black Swedish with greenish heads. They are supposed to be females?

My females have beautiful bibs but only one has white flight feathers. I don't believe she has the four needed on both wings though
