Do call ducks 'grey out'?

As mentioned above, ducks will molt multiple times a year. Drakes will often lose their color and look very dull. They will get the color and curly tail feather back though :)

But to also answer your question, black, blue, and chocolate ducks will "gray out". Each year they will get more and more white in color.
Pictured is a chocolate call drake (I no longer have him). I got him as a day old duckling. Fully feathered, he was solid chocolate. Each year, he would get a handful of white feathers. In this picture, he is 4 years old and quite "mottled" with white!
Im a little disappionted that my falgar will lose his black head, it looked very handsome. His brother Thorne wth grey head and white cheeks hasnt changed at all.
