Show standard Black Swedish ducks are entirely black, eggcept for their white bib and belly.
Fortunately mine aren't show-standard, so they have black splashes in their bibs, white on their heads and white wingtips.

Interesting, thanks a bunch. I guess my Little Call Drake then must be show-standard. Now if it was only full size and I had a place to show it, lol.

Same here, and the Turkey Vultures told me that a dead raccoon is a yummy raccoon…

Just look at my footer and visit my duck-flock planner page. There are pictures of all full-sized duck breeds that are available (more or less) in the U.S.

Thanks so much, that was very informative. I appreciated it.

What was her colour as a duckling?

 

[Muscovy Wunda]

Exactly! - There's a YT channel, Johns Ducks's where a muscovy is sitting in his lap and another one wants to join, they're so sweet. - Eggcept when they're sitting on a nest full of eggs…

It would be the inevitable desire to turn into a dragon and gaurd treasure in the spring that I do not wish to have them again.

What was her colour as a duckling?

Light brown and yellow. I was surprised at the result. Her dad was black and white.

I dug out this gem. Not a single predator dared come within 10 metres of her. Out in the middle of a paddock. Children could not leave the yard without fear of being charged, but this is where she chose to nest

So when are developing eggs most vulnerable to become cold or being shaken, based on your eggsperience, early on in their development or late?

Early on. Later, they can survive longer without heat. I once rescued eggs that a hen had been off of for a day and a half. They were about two weeks along at the time.

There can be good and evil in all breeds. No two are the same. My two eat out of my hand and are two of the sweetest ducks out of 20 that I have. I like their quietness and friendliness but it all depends on the temperment of each duck. Sorry yours was such an evil one but they are not all like that at all.
