swedish

so I have 6 ducks. 2 pekins, 4 Swedish. They are coming up on 7 weeks old and have been outside for about 2 weeks now and just this past week I took away their heat lamp. Next week I plan to allow them to fully free range near our large pond. But I have a question. They are at the point now...

We lost our "Squeaky"-duck to a predator in early January. She was a feral escape that walked cross-country onto our place one afternoon. Initially very skittish, but we became close friends and she loved to race me and our kayak around the pond. She was small-to-medium in size, and not heavy...

Good Morning! This is the first time we decided to hatch our own ducklings from our eggs collected from our ducks! However, I have two drakes. So I’m not positive what mix I ended up with! They’re adorable either way just curious what y’all think!? I have a male khaki Campbell and Blue...

We just picked up a duckling labeled as “Blue Swedish” at TSC but it has eye stripes? The down is def blue and it has blue-slate bill and feet. Can Blue Swedish ducklings have eye stripes?

Made an account to be able to ask for feed and other care advice. Here are my two baby girls who are turning 3 this year. As you can see they are very clingy, it was my mom who got them in 2020 but now I care for them. I wonder if it would be safe to introduce a third? I have read online that...

Hello everyone, I own a rooster of 55 Flowery Hen and I would like to create a breeding group of this breed. Sadly from the eggs I bought I didn’t get any female. It’s has been hard for me to get the hatching eggs from this breed and it would be nearly impossible to obtain other eggs. Is there...

Hi-I’m looking for your thoughts on our duck! Pico is about 14 weeks old and came from a local feed store. Sold as black Swedish, but I wasn’t expecting that much green. Thoughts?? Here’s a few photos of Pico from this morning with the rest of the crew. Thanks!

I have a 3 day blue Swedish female duckling that has a prolapse vent. I’ve tried sugar and preparation H but it keeps coming back out after awhile. Anything I can do to keep it in? All the vets around us are out for the holiday. I’ve taken her away from her siblings which she’s very upset about...

Hi from Canby Oregon! Canby is about half way between Salem and Portland. I've been a lurker on this forum for years. I figured it was time to join. What a nice knowledgeable enthusiastic group of people here! (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I've had chickens...

Okay here’s the short of it: I ordered and paid for two Mallards in April with my two Pekins. I have my Pekins but my Hatcher has been struggling to successfully hatch my two mallards. He keeps offering swap outs, which I’m holding out on for the mallards, but today he says he has some Swedish...

So...I have a call drake mating with a Swedish duck...Has anyone ever heard of fertilized eggs resulting from a call drake and an average sized duck?... (I have 7 eggs in the incubator and wondering if I’m wasting my time and incubator space)... 😂

I got 2 ducklings from my local feed store, and I think the gray one is a blue Swedish but the black one I don’t know if it’s a black Swedish or a magpie Thanks! :)

I'm new to backyard chickens as I am in the midst of determining the breeds and genders of my two ducks. When I first got them, I was told (by a person who was unsure) that they were Muscovies... they're definitely not. At the moment both ducks are 10 weeks old. Cielo is the slightly larger duck...

Hi all! So a month or so back I got this girl from someone and they claimed she was magpie but I think she looks swedish. They said they didn't have any Swedish on their farm and they only bred magpie and Pekin. The same people hatched lilac and brown magpies along with a couple white and I'm...

We have a Blue Swedish hen, a Pekin hen, and had a Rouen and two Pekin drakes (the drakes are gone now). Somehow, we ended up with 4 Black Swedish, 1 Blue Swedish, 2 Pekin, 1 Rouen, and 1 Rouen/Pekin looking ducklings. My question is, how on earth did I end up with Black Swedish if we only...

We have several ducks ready for adoption. Pine is looking for a place to hang out for the rest of his life. He is a three year old muscovy male. He had a broken wing which has fully healed. He has a deformity in his wing and it will need to be clipped yearly at molt to prevent him from...

Here is my goose and two ducks:

Hi there! This is my duck Chubb, and we seem to think he is a male but are having a hard time distinguishing! He doesn't have a true quack he kind of more whistles. Our other blue swedish does quack. He's probably about 3 months old now but isn't growing a drake feather? Help! Anybody really...

The mom is either a black swedish or black swedish x mallard. She has a black head and neck, a clean white chest with no hazy edges, and brown plumage for the rest. The male is 100% mallard. Does anyone have pictures of this cross?
