Hi!I've been asking around about my white duckling (who is now feathered) but there's not many people around me familiar with Swedish ducks, so I figured I would ask here!
I'm not good with genetics but I have a silver hen, a chocolate hen, and that batch was a black Swedish drake (related by one parent to my hens) of 17 eggs I got 10 ducklings, 8 black, 1 blue, and the 1 white one. She has a very pale orange/white bill, and in the sunlight her eyes appear blueish. I bought the parents as day olds and didn't see the parents so I don't have that genetic information to share.
I've been told A ) my chocolate hen must be a cross because only blue and black exist which after looking up a few things I know is wrong, B ) my white duckling is a pekin cross, which is impossible because I only own the three ducks
Please help me figure this out on what happened to get a white duck. (I love her and might keep her to breed to my new blue drake when she's older)

She is most like likely a silver splash Swedish. Sweds do not breed true if you breed black drake to blk hen you will.not get all blk ducklings. If you breed a silver splash to a black you will get approx 50% blue, 25 % black and 25% silverI've been asking around about my white duckling (who is now feathered) but there's not many people around me familiar with Swedish ducks, so I figured I would ask here!

Your blues are a male and female I would seperate the hen for 17 days and try again to mate just the swedish..you have a different breed white bird there idk what breed is but the ducklings you hatch from her will always be mixed breed if the blue drake is the mate.I meant to post this pic in the last reply. Sorry!
