Blue Swedish Ducks for Sale: Dual-Purpose Breed

Blue Swedish ducks typically have slate blue plumage with some white highlights on their wings and breast (otherwise known as a "bib"). The shade of blue will vary, with some having much darker coloring, almost navy. This duck is a hybrid, so subsequent generations will not breed true.

This duck breed is suitable for egg or meat production. If managed properly, Blue Swedish ducks will lay up to 180 eggs per year, giving you a reliable supply of eggs. 

Although Swedish Blue ducks are slow growers, their bodies are quite broad and robust once they reach maturity, making them a prime choice for meat production. This is a medium sized bird, but the meat yield and flavor is said to be excellent.

This heritage breed has been a backyard favorite in the US ever since they were imported in the late 1800s. Growers value them for their exceptional foraging abilities and their tolerance of cold or hot weather.

These birds do not fly and typically do not hatch or raise their own young.
