Dark ducks turning white...care to share pics?

How old are your ducks? I've mostly dealt in Mallard mutts and have never seen this before, but I understand that it happens to Cayugas and other solid-colored ducks. Makes sense that it would happen with the runner versions.
 
My oldest are almost 2, the middles ones are about 15 months, and the youngest are 7 months. The one with the most white so far is Vinny, who is 15 months. He's molting and looks more and more white everyday. He's getting ones on his head too, makes me wonder if he'll turn all white like Terrie's Milky!
 
They are very pretty - I like the dark and white combination - I noticed that my Angel who is fawn and white is getting a white patch on her front where she used to be fawn. She is a couple weeks from being one year old.
 
Upon further inspection, I have noticed that Victor's fawn areas are looking lighter these days. Almost more penciled looking. Ollie is also getting a little white in her flight feathers and a tiny bit on her chest (she's blue). Vinny takes the cake though... I'll have to try to get another picture of him today so you can see how much more white he's gotten in just a few days!
