How did my Muscovy babies come out this color?

[Bleenie]

My Silver ducks always start out as a Beige color and then come into their Silver in their Juvenile molt or second molt. I have a big drakelet right now that's molting out the beige and gettign a super pale, powdery blue tail..the head ans chest should color in as soon as his molt really gets going.. his sisters are starting to look pretty raspy

I know that this is terribly late, but I stumbled on this by accident. That hen is probably a double lavender, double blue dilution: Light silver. I was originally going to guess lilac cream... but I don't think so. I do think that the drake is more than likely a chocolate split though, and not a pure black.

That would result in all of the offspring being blue with some showing brown. They'll all be split to lavender.
