I'm gonna go out on a limb here.  (I'm just a beginner)

 

The all yellow ones look like Pekins.

The one eye-stripe ones are Domestic Mallards. (2 eye-stripes would be Rouens)

The spotty ones without eyestripes are maybe Magpies.

 

The black ones look like they are most likely Cayugas, but I see Ideal also has Black Runners and Eat Indies.

X2 

but instead of magpies maybe anconas.  hard to tell color on the dark ones but cayuga or maybe khaki campbell.  If they were hatchery choice, they are probably mostly males.

If they all came in at the same time, I would still lean towards mallards not rouens.  In the pics, they look much smaller than the others

The one pictured in your hand looks just like my Cayugas from Ideal...

I'm a Dog trainer... I do Dog Agility... then I got the crazy idea to try herding so I've gotten ducks and some chicks for eggs... and now I may end up doing shows with them too... yes... I have lost my mind.

Oh and did I mention I do vehicle decals (right now it's mostly dog designs) and lettering... and Tshirt's and coaster sets and decorative tiles... hey I've been out of a regular job...

The yellow ones are definitely Pekins. The yellow runner ducks have a flatter bill that blends into their foreheads better (saw my first ones this past weekend).

 

I love Pekins.

Ancona tend to have a football players spot under their eyes where the magpies don't,

but thats not fool proof.
