Oh yeah..
If these are calls than I am completely wrong cause I know nothing about those except they are tinier than regular ducks! lol
I can't tell the size from the pic.

Hmmm... well seems like the swedish guesses are right on. But the others I am confused on. Especially the yellow one. He seems to be the same size as the rest, as far as height etc. The only difference it that he is a little more "thick", or just fatter LOL.

Also, what are "call" ducks?

calls are a bantam breed bred to quack. they come in many colors.

orpington is a chicken, and pekin would be much larger than the others, double the size even.

Actually there is a breed of duck called buff orpington, usually shortened to simply buff. They are similar in color to a pastel call. The ducklings look like diluted mallard/rouens, usually a light chocolate brown color with yellow.

ETA, size of a pekin would depend on lineage and age.

Yeah I always just called them buffs

. one does look diluted mallard to me also, why I said mallard cross.
