Can anyone identify these ducks?

Good afternoon! We acquired 4 rescue ducks. We have a fawn/white Runner and a black/white Crested Swede. Here is a picture of two of the rescue ducks, the other two look similar. Can anyone tell me what breed they are?

The one on the right has a long full ponytail!

Looks like a blue runner. The other one is a crested duck and it is either a chocolate runner or khaki Campbell. Hard to tell from the picture.
You have to be careful with crested ducks, because they have a skull deformity. Their is a gap in their skull that cause the fatty tissue to grow there. If the crested is a female, you may may not want to keep it with a drake, because he could yank on it when mating.

Thank you so much for your reply. I had no idea about the skull deformity of crested ducks! Thankfully all six of mine are hens.
