I hatched two ducklings from a farm whose eggs I bought for baking. Any ideas on breed?

You'd have to wait until they're older unless you know what kind of ducks the farm had, their proportions look "normal" so I wouldn't expect something bantam like a call duck or indie but otherwise, looks like a duck! ;)
 
Ducklings are sometimes as uniquely colored as adult ducks. Being they are from a farm their is a possibility of mixed breeds. In ducks mixed breeds may mimic other breeds.

If you can get a picture of them standing it may help.

My first thoughts are a Pekin and a dark Welsh Harlequin.

Here are a few (not the chick). :) The yellow one is always giving me the side eye - seems like a bit of a character.
