I purchased these three ducklings from our local Atwood’s and was wondering if anyone could help with identifying the breed and gender of our ducks?

We just got these three ducklings and were wondering the same thing. One for sure looks Swedish blue but not sure about the other two. They are a little over a month old and seemed to have bonded with the man who originally purchased them then decided he only wanted chickens. Does anyone have any tips for earning their trust?

I recently had to buy some more ducks as I lost all but one of my four starting ducklings, I have a hen and drake who were raised to be afraid of humans, the hen has 12 ducklings who are all afraid of humans as well. I also bought another drake who runs away from me when I move but is perfectly fine wandering around me so long as I don't move a lot.
What I do(it's been almost a week since I started) is sit in their runs(hen and ducklings are separated and the drakes are all together), I toss peas to the ducklings and now they come as close as halfway across the run towards me when they hear me reaching for peas, their mom doesn't really like it when they come all the way up to me to grab a pea before retreating a few inches to eat it. My original drake and the one who didn't come with the hen both eat from my hand and I'm still working on the hen's drake but I expect to win him over eventually. I'd suggest just hanging out with them and offering them snacks they like. Start with tossing but as they get more comfortable around you make them eat out of your hand. If they were well treated and aren't afraid of humans but are just wary it shouldn't take long for you to gain their trust.
