Can anyone identify what breed my new ducks are?

I bought 6-baby ducks and 2- hen,and 1-suppose to be Drake. The Drake doesn't have any curly tail feathers. The baby ducks are just now getting their adult feathers in. The two hens are at the end of moulting,or are just finishing adult feather plumage.I have no idea what breeds they are. Can anyone help?

My guess on the white and grey ones is Welsh Harliquins.

Looks like the brown ones are Rouens.

The lighter ducks are welsh harlequins. I hate to tell you this, but it looks like they're all drakes too. Any quacking from them? I have a pair.

Our drake, Tater.

Our duck, Tot.

Before he got his "big boy" feathers. Lol. The females have dark bills and legs. The males are lighter bills with bright orange legs. If you DO have quacking from one that has an orange bill, it will develop freckles once adult hormones start to arrive. Bill color sexing isn't 100% in WH, but it's pretty close. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's around 90% accurate? I'm not talking about the first 3-5days, but the incidence of yellow billed females. May be more like 95% have black bills...
ANYway! Looks like someone sold you 6 WH drakes. If these are your only ducks, you'll need 3-4 females per male in order to avoid over breeding. Nasty business that can turn deadly. Two girls and 8 boys is a recipe for disaster. I'm sorry it's worked out this way.

This is him with coloring a little closer to yours. I have a huge lapse of time between feathering in pics. Sorry. Bad mom.

You can really tell the diff in their beak colors in these pics.

I agree the WH all look like drakes and so does one of the Rouens. Quacking is the only sure fire way to tell at this age. Girls quack and boys raspy whisper.

You will need to either rehome the boys or get more girls before they are 4-6 months old.

Thank you so much for the responses, I appreciate them. I bought them and only paid $3.50. each. acept the 3-adults. I paid $9.50 each. I knew I didn't know if they were going to be boy's or girls. it didn't matter at the time as I was saving them from a bad home. Right now they don't quack.It is a raspy high pitch cheeping. They were yellow fluff with some feathers 1.1/2 weeks ago. Not sure of the age. I guess I will be seperating them(LOL) I really want duck eggs and baby's later on.I re-homed all my chickens about 1-month ago. anyway thanks everyone.
