Oh my goodness, he is absolutely stunning!

Your drake’s colors remind me of Nalu’s, I would be so pleased if he ended up looking similar!
I’m guessing Nalu is a black runner x fawn and white runner mix, because of his black feathers, and his super dark head. I will continue to post pictures of them as they grow!

I think your right, when I saw your pictures I could def see the coloring was very close to the same. It sure makes for lovely colors.

It would definitely make sense if (s)he is a fawn or white mixed with a blue, her colors are so strange! They look far from pure color.
Your babies are soo cute, I'm in love with the mixed color flock!
Your silvers look similar to Donut, (that's the duckling in question's name) but she seems to have a slightly darker tint, and those orangeish brown feathers are definitely not full silver! I will keep updating photos of her as she grows, thank you so much for sharing!

My ducks are f&w x black cross and came with slightly similar patches of color! My lil ducks are that lavender lilac shad with patches of the fawn feathers hidden throughout!

Sadly I don’t have photos of the parents, it would be much easier to figure out what colors they are if I did. Though I’m fairly sure that Nalu is a black x fawn and white runner, and this morning Yin had solid dark chocolate feathers coming in on her back. So my assumption is that Yin and Yang are Chocolate x Fawn and White mixes

Aloha! I have some updated duck photos and gender reveals! Two out of five ducks are girls, it’s Daisy and Nalu! Yin, Yang, and Donut are all presumably drakes as they have not started quacking yet.

Are there any pictures of it as a very young duckling?

Sadly not, there used to be a photo up of this duckling with its siblings (and lots of others) on craigslist, but the breeder took it down once he sold them all. I hadn't thought to keep the picture.
I do remember seeing a few fawn and white runners in there though. Most of them were chocolate and a couple of blacks.
