pure bred blue Swedish ducklings. the blue gene gives 50% blue 25% black - both with nice white chest and 25% mottled silver blue to pied with black patches. very pretty ducks that lay nice eggs the best part of the year. no - duck eggs do not taste like fish unless you feed them pond stuff. but - so would a chicken egg. ducks do not need a pond - they like one. they need lots of water to drink and would be happy with a kiddy swimming pool.
