Duck got DARK feathers

[Jelibaen]

I'm 90% sure this is normal but I just wanted to show the difference in my duck Justine! The first pic was her in June - the second is today.
What a color change in a molt!! Again, I have no idea what breed they are. Rouen/Swedish/Buff mixes apparently, but Justine doesnt look like a Buff anymore!

(She is the one on the ramp and then the dark one in the middle)

She looks like my mallard hens, i have several and they start yellow then turn dark. If they are crossbred, i have runners and pekins also they are very interesting to watch develop
when they are cross bred.

Wow, big difference and how gorgeous.

she’s the one on the ramp right? she is a khaki campbell, they actually lighten in color when they spend a lot of time in the sun. so the dark color is her normal color

Interesting as this happened to only one of our Khaki hens this year. They all looked alike and I couldn't tell them apart so I called them the spice girls. Now one is Dark brown, so she may get her own name. Maybe Espresso
