I bought 4 babies from Tractor Supply. Upon first glance it looked like I was getting 2 blue Swedish and 2 Khaki Cambell. When I got them home, I noticed that my Khaki Cambell ducks are probably actually Blue or Chocolate Runners which is fine. HOWEVER, one of my Swedish ducks is running like a Runner! Also, one of the Swedish ducks has spots on it like the Runners have. I've never seen dark spots on a baby Swedish.
The breeds that could be in this assortment are: Pekin, Rouen, Khaki Campbell, Blue Swedish, Black Swedish, White Crested, Fawn & White Runner, Black Runner, Blue Runner, Chocolate Runner, Saxony, Silver Appleyard, Golden 300, and White Layer. The minimum number of breeds included is 3, and the characteristics will vary by breed for these hardy, active birds. Taken Hoover's Hatchery's description.
Could they have been an 'opps' mixed batch?
