Splash Swedish Duck
Splash Swedish Duck is a rare and visually striking color variation of the traditional Swedish duck, celebrated for its unique plumage and calm temperament. As a medium-sized heritage breed, the Splash Swedish is known for its attractive blend of bluish-white, gray, and black feather patterns, giving it a marbled or “splash” appearance that makes it stand out in any flock. This eye-catching coloration is a result of a genetic variation in the Blue Swedish duck line.
Splash Swedish Ducks typically have a sturdy body, broad chest, and a distinctive white bib on their chest, which contrasts beautifully with their mottled feathering. Their bills range from slate to olive green, and their legs are usually dark gray or black. On average, they weigh between 6.5 and 8 pounds, making them an ideal dual-purpose breed for both eggs and meat.
These ducks are excellent foragers and adapt well to free-ranging environments. They are hardy birds, capable of thriving in a variety of climates, and are especially prized for their calm, gentle nature. This makes them a favorite among backyard poultry keepers and homesteaders alike.
Females lay a moderate number of large, white to slightly tinted eggs—about 100 to 150 per year—making them a reliable addition to a mixed flock. Their quiet demeanor also makes them suitable for urban or suburban settings where noise might be a concern.
Whether you’re drawn to the Splash Swedish Duck for its ornamental value, its practical utility, or its friendly disposition, this beautiful breed is a delightful addition to any duck lover’s collection.
