This is the second order of the Blue Swedish ducks that I have had. I have found them to be very vocal, which I enjoy and seem to be the leaders of the other ducks I have. I find them very beautiful ducks not as friendly as some but not mean at all. They share a large pen with my chickens and all use the same nests to lay in. They do love their pools and can be found in them most days. They do lay large greenish hued eggs and are good layers. As I stated this is my second order of them and I like them very much.

Greetings all. We live in Southern Colorado and we have 2 Swedish blue ducks. One is 3 years old and the other is 6 months old. We chose the Swedish blue duck because there heartiest breed we found to hold up in the Colorado winters and summers. We choose our Brahma chickens for the same reason. We have 15 chickens and 2 ducks. They all get along together as a flock. No infighting.
The ducks themselves have interesting personalities. Priscilla, our 3 year old is very friendly and very talkative with her quacks. She lays down in the grass waiting for us to come pet her, but it has to be when she is in the mood. Our 6 month old duck is still leary of us but she’s getting better at interaction. We have raised our chickens and ducks together, the ducks even prefer to sleep in the coop with the chickens. They all go in the coop when the sun goes down. All in all I would recommend the Swedish blue duck and the brahma chickens as coop mates. One caveat, the Swedish blue can be a little noisy. Fortunately we have understanding neighbors cause we live in town. So all our neighbors received complimentary eggs often. So far no complaints in 3 years.

I ordered one male and four female Blue Swedish this past May, but unfortunately, they haven’t been as friendly as described or Cayuga that I’ve had in the past. Despite our efforts to handle them from day one, they seem quite skittish and don’t really enjoy being held. They are beautiful, decently sized birds—the drake has a darker head and some darker feathers, while the females have white speckling on their necks and breasts. They’re not solid blue, which I understand better now after reading about breeding and color traits. They are considerably larger than typical Cayugas.
About a month ago, we lost two females to a fox, which led to a sad but interesting period of emotional recovery for the survivors. We gave them extra care and attention, and they now seem to be a happy couple. I’m hopeful they will start mating and laying eggs soon, but with fall approaching here in New England, we may not see ducklings this year. Overall, I’m happy with this breed, but I may consider a different one in the future.

I ordered a sexed female and that’s what I got, but she lays white eggs, and not the blue/green tinted eggs I was hoping for. She’s beautiful and full of personality but I was just hoping for some colored duck eggs.
