They look smaller than your pekins. If they are smaller than them then yes they are mallards if they are about the same size than they are rouens.

Do you have normal pekins or jumbo pekins? It might be rouen if you have jumbo pekins

If they can fly I'd say they are definitely mallards. I have a mallard who's just on the heavy end of the normal weight range (3.5 lbs) and he can barely get off the ground. A rouen at 7-8 lbs surely couldn't, right?

Rouens can fly. But only a very few of them. The chances of having a Rouen that flies is not likely but it does happen. How much they weigh when they are able to fly I'm not sure.

My Rouens flap but do not fly at all.
