Indian Runners..?

These are my first ducklings and they were pretty much rescue babies. The man who had them was going to kill the ones he didn't sell. Some were sick so I'm hoping I got healthy ones and they won't pass anything to my flock. I have three and I'm not sure what colors they will be.. any help? Also, when can you start telling males and females apart?

1 and 3 are both black and yellow but #2 is more a light brown

2 is a swedish and three probably is too. The only duck I have and ever had is a swedish.

 Whats the difference?  (never had ducks and I've done my research but not intensive on breeds I wasn't really interested in)

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

Thanks! They stand up like the Runners though, is that normal? And you said just 2 and 3, so 1 is a Runner?
