Maybe it's a fluke? I had the two girls hatch out a white baby once. I don't know who the father was but the mother was either Autumn (chocolate hatchmate of violet) or Violet.Solid white?
That doesn't make sense, given that lilac bred to white should yield all pied ducklings only. If she's white, then her mother must have been pied or white. Your original duck that's pictured doesn't appear to be either - which means she can't have been the mother.
That's not to say you can't still make blue fawn ducks using the drakes you have now - you definitely can. But it's going to be harder and take multiple generations, depending on what color genetics are happening with your white hen. White masks all, so it's impossible to say what color genetics she has going on.
I would start by breeding her to your drake that's split to chocolate. Keep the chocolate pied females for the next cross. If you get lucky, the white hen might be genetically blue. That would make everything much easier.
