They are mallards! They are about 9 weeks

Rouens have two stripes across the eye, Mallards have one, or one and a dot. Rouens are also about twice the size of a Mallard too.

My ducks are small. They are much smaller than the Pekins I have

Maybe they got it right this time. Mine only have the one eye stripe not the double like these on this post have.

Do your ducks have a slightly green top of their heads? Not bright green but underlying green almost. I have a five week old duckling that looks like yours but just a slight tinge of green on top of the head so I was thinking definitely male but then saw a wild mallard that looked very similar so I was wondering if there’s a chance it could be female
