I know at least 3 of the white and black are magpie but I have one (picture in the original post) that has spots on its head not a little characteristic helmet like a mag pie would below are the other 3 magpie then the one with spots

They are adorable ducklings. This duckling could still be a magpie the helmet just isn't as pronounced. Hatcheries don't usually have the SQ breeds.
Are you familiar with the problems crested can have? I'd get them on a good B Complex or Nutritional yeast for leg strength support. Nutritional yeast can be sprinkled over their feed 1 Tab to each cup of feed.
 
The first duckling pictured could be a Welsh Harlequin, but not sure if the chest looks a little light to indicate instead a bibbed breed.
 
I actually contacted the hatchery I got them from because I think they sent me the wrong ducklings 😅 non have crests and yes miss Lydia I do know of the problems I am only going to have them as pets in my flock I don't plan on breeding them and if I have male and female when they are adults ill rehome some to responsible educated owners with agreements that they return to me if any reason comes up that they can't keep them I don't want them dumped

I was going to say I don’t see crests on them
But very cute ducklings :)

What did the hatchery have to say?
 
They said they think it was a mix up and they are looking into it supposed to hear back from them today
 
They sent the wrong ducklings gonna re ship the one in question is now getting little black dots on its back
