Comment on colors when you have time please?
The mama duck is the one that came from my grey hen with the blue gene.
Possible fathers are blue fawn blue Bibbd or pastel.

Daddy of the blue bibbed must have been the blue bibbed I don't think she's pied, unless your blue bibbed was actually pied.

Is the hen that hatched them definitely the mother? And is this duckling black like it looks like in this picture?

Blue arrows I'd like to see individual pictures in good lighting if possible. Might be good if you could do that for the '?' ones too.

No it's not that black..it was still wet.
I'm pretty positive no-one else has been laying. Daisy and Daphne were too young they just started. Maggie the black was separated with her babies.
That leaves Sofie and jane, (blue fawn and gray with blue copy) but they don't look like they have been laying, and Sofia normally goes inside to lay.

I was gonna say, a pastel duck cannot produce a black duckling. So something was going on there, lol.

I'll get the good camera after them tomorrow. It's getting dark here already.

So #9 is in the house with me tonight. When I went out to lock up for the night I found it out of the nest on its back and cold.
I really didn't think it was going to make it but I brought it in and put some nutri drench down the side of its bill like wv taught me . . and I think it's going to pull through!
It still isn't up on its feet yet so I'm keeping it in tonight. Hopefully tomorrow I can reintroduce it with the others.
