Duck breed?

Got these 3 ducks at Tractor Supply because I accidentally took my daughter to get chicken feed.

never had ducks, seem to be feathering out white and I have a guess. Just wondering if anyone can tell for sure what they are.

2 of them look like pekins to me!

The 3rd.... Hmmm... Lol.

2 pekins and a chicken?

white layer

Paler bill? Breed identification is not my strong suit!

Thank you! I was guessing maybe Pekin, wasn’t sure about the pale color of the bills.

The other one doesn’t swim very well

I've seen some photos of pekin ducklings with pinkish bills, and I was curious about this so I decided to look around a bit. There seems to be some variation. I don't know if that's because of imprecise breeding, or if the ducklings grow up to have more orange bills. I'm only a little knowledge in this topic and mostly curious.

For example, I found this photo of a group of pekin ducklings in a review from an order from tractor supply.

Yeah but can the tsc employees tell the difference between a pekin & white layer?
