Well, the Campbell will give you black, blue and chocolate with your Swedish and chocolate and lilac with your Buff. With the Cayuga you'll just get black.

With the Appleyard you'll get things that look kind of like the Appleyard with your Buff and you'll get blue and black with the Swedish and black with the Cayuga.

I kinda like what the Khaki will give you, plus you will get better egg layers.

All options will give you pretty offspring though

Hmmmmm now I'm not sure.... lilac wow that would be pretty. I have a Cayuga duck which I will keep. I think she is beautiful and she is starting to get real friendly to me. She ate out of my hand today. I am not sure now which one to get. If I were to get a Cayuga drake would all babies be black​

On second thought, I say go with the Apple. I think you'd get some more interesting cross ducklings.

Assuming it's a pure bred Cayuga then you'd get all black from the Cayuga and a mix of black and blue from the Swedish. From the Buff you should get a mix of black and blue (assuming that in the US Buffs have one blue dilution gene like they do here....they come in three varieties - two blue dilution genes, one blue dilution or no blue dilution).

LOL, too much choice!

How much does egg laying matter to you? If it matters quite a bit, get a Campbell (as long as it's from an egg laying line).

I'm in this for just pets. Eggs and meat don't matter either way really

If I were going for crossbred pets, I'd definitely go with the Silver Appleyard. They have more personality than two other ducks in my book.

AND interesting crosses!

Seriously those pics make him look cuter than what he really is.

He is so UGLY! And TINY!

ETA: The others are picking on him and the other little blue one. Isn't that mean?! I think I know already which chicks are roosters by their demeanor. Lol! There are 2 little chickens in here that keep trying to attack my hand. Really? Oooooo... You're so tough.. I'm scared.
