Are these pekins?

Hi! Recently we got 6 Cayuga and 6 "assorted" ducklings
I'm assuming these are pekin (which is fine we already have 2 females we rescued and they are great! But I'm noticing many of their faces are a darker tint which has me second guessing myself we got them less than a week ago (cayuga Wednesday and the assorted Thursday) the day they arrived at TSC they are significantly bigger they the Cayuga
Thanks

Do they stand up tall like the first photo?

They are absolutely adorable! Thanks for sharing the photos. I'm new to ducks so I can't take a guess at the breed but, they are so stinkin' cute!

Seems like they all do. We've only had them a few days so they aren't super thrilled being handled and mostly try to run away when I try and get a good picture

They are so cute! I've only had ducks for a month or so, so I'm not real versed in all the breeds. But maybe runners? Or some runners and some pekins?

They look like pekins to me, and they are super adorable! Pekins often need more niacin than other ducks as they grow so fast and their legs don't always keep up

it seems mean to give you all the same breed in an "assortment"

The stance does seem tall for Pekin, but runners would be small. Are the ages similar to the Cayuga? These appear to be Pekins if they are pure.

I will make sure I give them extra then! Thanks

Yeah I'm a little bummed but that's ok we are doing a cackle hatchery mystery box later this summer so I'll just slowly keep adding variety that way
