Normal? Possible? Mix?

I've got 4 call ducklings from my gray call pair, the hen has 7, I haven't seen them yet though.
These guys just hatched yesterday.
I haven't got any that look like grays yet, is it possible to get an all yellow one from that pair?
I have pekins, but I really didn't think he'd get a hold of my call even if he wanted to. (Just throwing it out there just in case he's involved.)

These are the 4, do they look pure? And what happened with these colors?

Here's the pair:

Recessive traits can hide. So, if both of your adults were Cc (C is normal color, c is white), then yes, a white duckling is possible (cc). I am thinking the others are dusky with recessive bib. Again, recessive traits. The weird thing is that there is only a 1/4 probability of getting a recessive trait from two parents who do not show the trait. Now, if those babies turn out to be black with a bib, your Pekin is involved, as black is a dominant trait that can only hide under white.

I looked at mamas babies this morning- she has 2 whites and the rest look like the black yellows in my photos.
Last time she hatched her eggs she only had 5 and all looked like grays. None are like that this time.

I think your Pekin might be the daddy. That would make way more sense for their colors.

He's so big though, and she's so little. .
He has tried and chased her though, I guess he was more successful then i thought he'd be.
She's always tried to stay away from the pekins and stay with her call male. I guess the call male hasn't tried to get any action. .

It will be interesting to see how big the babies are. I had a Khaki x Appleyard drake who turned out to be the size of a Khaki. But, his son, whose mother was a Khaki, was huge more like an Appleyard.
