Well, I think I've finally figured out why four of the Muscovi Ducklings are brown and one is white...or WAS white. She's getting more and more color to her and more of the Muscovi markings so my conclusion is that the four brown ducklings had a Muscovi dad and this one had...well...one of the domestic white ducks for a dad. She's clearly taking on the Muscovi marking ruling out that she's albino or leucistic so that leaves the four white domestic ducks that frequent the pond with her mama.
All five seem to be thriving and have made it past the first two months of life. I'm so hoping they hang around for the winter - I've really enjoyed my time with them.
