Duck Breed help - 2 unknown ducks

[tayayelor]

Hey so I've got two ducks fully grown, I did not purchase them my brother did so I have no idea where he got them or what breed they are. I'm wanting to know though because they have started laying eggs and I can't even officially tell if ones female and ones male. Most of the eggs they've laid have come up as nothing. But she also won't brood them cause she's actually mentally challenged, and I don't mean that as an insult. So Id kind of like to know what I can about their breed and their eggs.

These pics aren't great but they're the only ones I have any help would be appreciated thanks

Looks like the brown one is a Rouen and the white and fawn one is a White and Fawn Runner.

Need better photos if you want to tell gender. Does one have curly tail feathers? Do they both quack?

My educated guess:

The light duck is definitely a fawn & white Indian Runner but the dark duck is more of a challenge. I guess she is a Rouen.

Judging by the picture both are females.

I have two questions though. What do you mean by the eggs 'have come up as nothing'? Also why do you think she is 'mentally challenged'? Ducks very rarely brood, and if both are females than the eggs can't be fertile. Also, don't let the dog chase them: they don't like it and strenuous running can cause severe damage to their ovaries, just due to the anatomy of the Runner.

They are adorable and look very young.
