Well, naturally, I'm thinking dun, but I don't know what you have.
How much do you know about duck genetics?

Could be dun. I've got a Dun Partridge Hen, & Gold/Silver Split Dun Cock.

But I've also got 1 Blue Bull Stag, 1 Blue Wheaten/Duckwing Cock, 1 Blue Duckwing Hen, & My Funky patterned Blue Pullet.

Others I have is a Black Cock, Gold Laced Pullet, Splash Wheaten Hen, a Cinnamon Duckwing pullet, & 2 Red Wheaten Hens.

Have you heard of the crest gene in ducks?

According to science, all crested ducks are heterozygous because Crest is a homozygous lethal gene.
However, in producing only crested offspring, my brother's ducks have proven to be homozygous yet they aren't dead and they aren't even mentally impaired.

One thing that's making move away from dun on these chicks is the blue/gray coloring within.

I've got a Dun chick that's really obvious.

To me, dun is more greyish than sex-linked chocolate is, and I feel like platinum just looks way more blue than even mauve does, and I find that hard to distinguish from blue already. But you're the one seeing them in person, so you'd know far better than I do.
