I bought these 2 cuties at Tractor Supply yesterday and was told they are Pekins. I'm not sure if they really are. I thought Pekins were to be all yellow?! Anything advice would be appreciated!!!

Could be rouens, depending on how big they are. Mallards look similar but are tiny in comparison. These are rouen ducklings:
I have an absolutely beautiful rouen drake of my own. They look a lot like mallards when they're all grown up. Black swedish is a good guess too. I just suggested rouens because I know for sure TSC sells them. They had a bin full of them at my local store recently.
