Is this little cutie penciled?
It's a surprise because these eggs came from my friends flock of all solid colour ducks. A chocolate drake over solid blue, silver and solid fawn hens. I'm fascinated by genetics. How do the genetics work for the runner gene?

Thanks in advance.

Looks to be more ancona/magpie. Penciled usually come out with a brownish color
