Hi DuckGirl.
Without seeing pictures of your ducks, it's hard to tell what you mean. I've noticed people use the term 'fawn' to mean many different shades, so it is often that one person's fawn is another person's cream.
It's important to remember, though, that the standard is written for the nuptial plumage. It does not apply to juvenile plumage, or to eclipse plumage.
On Holderread's website, they discuss the fawn plumage of the female duck (scroll down to the paragraph under the duck pic) http://holderreadfarm.com/photogallery/welsh_page/welsh_page.htm.
