What breed is these?

I adopted these little guys. It's my first time with ducks. Any idea on breeds and sex? They are all about 6 to 8 weeks old. The little yellow makes no noise so far, the bigger two are very vocal. The pics are about a week old.

I believe ones a Rouen and not sure of the other could be a black Swedish but with the white on its head just not sure. Sure are cute though. What about the yellow one do you know it’s breed?

Current pictures would help.

The yellow one is the most confusing for me. I think it's a male because it's the only one not to make any noise yet. It's also darker now on the tail.

My son brought the two bigger ones home around the first of June. They were a few days old at the time. The smaller yellow one he got the following week. It has not grown nearly as quickly as the other two. Today it was making a chirping noise. First noise I heard from it.
