They are some kind of crested duck! Looks like crested swedish duck your ducks are beautiful! Is there a chance they are mixes?

I just looked it up, they look just like a crested swedish!!

Huh. I am not sure what breed these are. One looks kind of like a blue swedish, but the other two don't. They look paler than normal blues. . I am not as familiar with ancona ducks, but they can have a lot of random patterns too. They are usually more white than colored though. I want to say their are mix and I have heard of some TSC selling birds from local breeders.

Either way they are beautiful ducks.

Are they all boys? If so they look like crested silver Swedish to me. The girls are usually all white. The duck in my avatar is a crested silver Swedish.

Definitely agree with Silver Crested Swedish ducks.

Yes, you don't want to breed crested to crested.

HOORAY! Thank you
Since they're all crested does that mean I'll need to find a non crested drake if I want to incubate their eggs?

No you want non crested females. The drakes can do serious harm to the crested females. Because drakes grab onto the back of the neck and back of the head when mating, they could grab onto the crested region.

Looks like crested mixes to me but I don’t know my duck breeds very well

@CaliFarmsAR or @Miss Lydia might be able to help figure out the breed!
