Are these chocolate pied muscovy ducklings?

[farmdude]

I just bought these off of Craigs list today. I'm new to muscovies so can anyone confirm that these are chocolate pied ducklings?

Thank you.

They are only a week older than when the picture was taken, so they don't look any different, just a little bigger. I have no idea what they will look like when they grow up. They don't look chocolate pied to me, but i'm new to these

Cute ducklings but they look like blacks/ black bibbed/black pied to me. Chocolate usually are much lighter brown ... almost a kakki color.

That is what I was thinking. She showed me pictures of the parents. The father is chocolate pied. The mother is light brown (buff?) pied. I Don't know the duck genetics, but I believe these duckling's colors are probably through backs?They don't look pied to me either, but I'm sure they carry the genes for it. 2 of the bibbed ones are a dark brown that doesn't show up well in the photo.
