I bought them at a local trade day and don't know what they are because of a significant language barrier.

They look a lot like mallards to me, at least a few days old.

ETA: that first one in front may be a hybrid because of his unusual head shape and upright stance. Much like a mallard-runner type.

Depending on their size they could be either Rouens or Mallards. Rouens are much larger than Mallards (and I think Mallards are seasonal layers?).
 
Don't rouens, though, have two stripes on their heads?

ETA: It's possible for the mixed ones. I do remember that our rouen-runners and rouen-mallard mixes where I live only had one stripe.

Very cute, though! I love seeing these types of ducklings!

Darlene is right. Mallards usually have one stripe and rouens have 2.
