they could very well be but I am unsure. If I had to assume I'd say that the blue youngster is, however it has a small white strip of white on its chest (i'd have to grab it and hld it still fora picture to show it) and neither the drakeor the duck has that. The grey youngster I am unsure of as well. I know it has a better body type than my other calls. I was given these babies free around the same time I got the adults... and there was high possibility that atleast the one could be the offspring of the adults.

this is what the adult pair looked like when I bought them:

Hen in front center, drake in back center:

first day i had them... their feathers were poor but look at the difference in color:

Here is a picture of a Two-Year-Old Chocolate Runner Drake I got the picture off of holderread farm. It should give you a idea of the color....( Not my bird )

Yeppers and chocolate calls ive seen online are solid chocolate beauties that's why I knew something was up with my two but I couldn't figure out what. When I first got them my drake was a a really really dark brown but he's moulted out to blue. The hen was a straw kinda khaki color and now she's that funky brown with blue lol

Is the youngster also a blue you think?

I used to do a lot of showing waterfowl in UK. Holderreads are well known among UK waterfowl people. Nice birds.
From looking at Feathersite I see many of the colours seem to have different names here in US....how confusing.

At least chocolate is still chocolate.
