I got my first 2 ever ducks March 3 this year so they're both a little over a month old now. And I need help finding out they're genders. Our vet doesn't vet and I'm not going to pay for blood work since it's too expensive. I got them at a farm shop, a khaki campbell and a Swedish blue. The...
Drakes looking to find a new home.
With a heavy heart, it's come time to rehome my sweet drakes bc they won't leave my sweet chicks alone. They have 3 hens they can't seem to get enough of, so it's unfortunately time for this to happen. I have 2 white fawn runners, a mallard, and a Swedish Blue...

Hey guys!
I just read that Swedish Blue drakes have green bills, and now I am concerned one of my Swedes is a boy because one has a green tint to their Bill. Can anyone confirm or deny that this green tint is indicating a male duck?

I think she’s layed at least 75 eggs in the last 3 months. I was just...
Saw this on my lil baby Swedish Blue’s back, above the tail but behind the wing. What is it!? I think it’s in the area of what duck biologists call the “thing that produces floaty duck oil”. Is that what this is, or..??
I have three ducks (a rouen, a swedish, and a cayuga). All of them are same age and started laying at the same time. I get 3 eggs a day but all of them are white and look the same. Is there any way I can tell whose egg is whose?
I noticed that my two Swedish Blues have been ‘missing’ from the rest of the flock when I let them out the past two or three mornings. Eventually they reappear outside, so I wasn’t too concerned. Yesterday I had the day off from work so I had more time to investigate. Both Swedish Blues were in...
Doing our first time incubating eggs and we have 3 signs of life.. The mother is a Pekin and the Father is a Blue Swedish. I am curious to see peoples photos of their feathered Pekin X Swedish cross breeds.. If you have them please show. Looking forward to see if i can hatch these 3 eggs out...
