I have 3 full grown pekin ducks, 2 female and one male. I want to make sure the younger ones will be able to handle themselves around the Adult male duck, hes kind of aggressive.

If your drake is aggressive the ducklings shouldn't be put in with him until they are almost full-grown, you can surely try putting them together, but I doubt it'll work.
 
Never. Your new ducksling look like they are both drakes. You can't have three drakes with two ducks. Factor in the age/size descrepancy, and you are setting these two juveniles up for a lifetime of suffering.

The green coming on the face isn't really a good indicator of sex with WH, females have it to until they molt back into white.

Oh thanks, I didn't know that. Are they welsh harlequins though? That head pattern looks a lot like the restricted mallard allele (found in appleyards).
