Muscovy coloring

[NorthernHydde]

I have two muscovy ducklings, Aflac and Flo who are both predominantly white with a few patches of black, will the ducklings they have in the future be the same? or can they be a chocolate with white? (I think thats called pied) just was thinking today and got curious as you can see I have no idea how this works.. I would think they'd be the same but you never know lol

I'm not familiar with muscovy genetics. I would think that their babies would be black and white like the parents. But if they carry a recessive brown gene then that would show in some of their babies. @SolarDuck @CaliFarmsAR have muscovies, so they would know more than me
