Duckling ID help : )

Every morning I come and look at them to see if there's any more clues...it's nice to have something else to think about in this crazy world. Thank you everyone for all your help I'll fill you in as I find out. Should I wait a couple weeks to take another picture?

A few more weeks and we should be able to tell!
 
I beg to differ, I've seen plenty of Buff ducklings with eye stripes, As well as having grey undertones. Some buffs ducklings look quite similar to Saxony, I'm not trying to say you're wrong just saying there is a chance, and the possibility of it being a buff shouldn't be totally discounted for.
I've never seen a buff that looks like a saxony. Even as ducklings their colors are VERY different :)

Here are updated pictures! And new guesses of breed and gender? And would I be able to put them(only girls) in the same coop with my three silkie chickens? Thank you as always!

I would say LearyCow was on spot with this one, and you have One Pekin, One Saxony, and One Rouen. Are you hearing any quacks yet, males at that age will make peeps/whistle while the females will go peep, peep, QUACK.
 
I'd almost guarantee that's a mallard and not a rouen...it's way smaller than the other two.
Also, here's a video that will give you an idea of what to listen for early on (like 3-4 weeks)
and one for later (more like 6 weeks)
...both were girls. Boys just peep forever, and it's a much more subtle change to their raspy quack.
 
I was brave today and did the vent check. I think the little brown one is a boy. If I'm right would anyone want him? I live in NJ and could drive him to you. With my mask of course ; )
 
Updated duck pictures! Thank you everyone for all your help. Any guesses on the sex of any of them yet? I haven't heard any quacking yet though! They really are a godsend in this quarantine cuz they always make you laugh.

You know what, that brown one is actually a Buff, my first guess was right. Have you heard any low pitch honks at all?
 
I'm going to go out there tomorrow morning with a cup of coffee until I can identify something! They're just so quiet compared to my chickens!
