my fawn and white runner had ducklings last spring with either my chocolate drake or my gray runner. Supposedly, from what i've heard and learned, the chocolate is the father. \\\\ I have more pictures on my BYC page. but heres the brood as babies and teens,but they look similar to your bunch! your drake is probably the father. I beleive it is the fawn and white that creates a recessive gene that gives the "spots" look. I was really surprised when my little guys came out, and i had posted pictures with questions as well.!

You guys ROCK!! Anybody have a picture of a silver bibbed runner?? Google usually knows all, but not seeing much on that one.

TLWR: I think you are right, the duck does look like she has a blue bill. What color would that make her?

Nicky and Steve, as tempting as it is to get rid of these ugly ducklings, I'm afraid I will have to pass, just to see if they outgrow the ugliness!

Why can't they stay small enough to swim in the bathtub FOREVER!!

I think you are right on, your babies look just like the 2 darker ones. So is that "blue bibbed"? They grew up nicely!
