Blue Swedish & Buff

Blue Swedish

The Blue Swedish Duck is similar in size to Rouens and are also very hardy.

 

The most interesting aspect of Blue Swedish is the genetics behind their coloring. If you use breeders colored like the pair in this picture, only 50% of the ducklings hatch in the blue/grey color of their parents. Half of the remainder hatch as black and white and the other 25% hatch as silver ducklings. Only by crossing the silver with the black and white do you obtain 100% blue/grey ducklings.

This breed, also called the Buff Orpington, originated in England. It is often considered a dual purpose breed, laying good quantities of eggs and giving a clean appearing carcass because of their light colored feathers.
