Ducks getting old - show me your pics!

[Canadian Wind]

As I was doing my morning chores today, I noticed that my oldest duck, Coco, was changing colours. When I got her just over two years ago, I had no idea what age she was but she already had the white feathers on the back of her head/neck which I figured were from mating. She was completely brown without any markings/patterns on her feathers, except for her speculum feathers which were gray.

Now, her whole back seems to be going gray and she developed a white eye line! I have no idea what breed she is. Here is a picture of her last summer and one from today.

Wow, she looks a whole lot like my Caramel! All I know is her mother was Buff, and her father was either Blue or Lilac. Very Campbell-like.

Some of her children were brown like her with more obvious blue on their backs, and some were Buff like her mother.

My eldest duck is my boy Cherry. I don’t know if he looks old, but he’s 6 years, 8 months now

HAHA! Hard to see if he's getting lighter!

Love the photo-bomb in the first pic.

Coco is moulting right now so her usual vibrant brown is duller (that and it was overcast).
