Full Pekin or different breed?

Hard to tell, I don't know if sexing by bill color will be that accurate, the reason being they look pretty pathetic, not sure if they have seen sunlight much, but exposure to the sun can affect the color of their bill.

Once they are fully grown you can weigh them, White Layers weigh between 4.5 - 5.75 pounds, while Pekins weigh between 8 - 12.25 pounds.

Those ducks need a good bath, and a full external examination for any sign of external parasites, Bumblefoot or anything unordinary.
 
What about their pinkish bills that’s usually a sign of white layers or do you think nutritional?

From the photo, it looks more pale orange, but I'm not sure. I think the OP will just have to wait till their full size and weigh them. There are probably lots of factors that contribute to their bill color.

I thought they looked pale. The guy that brought them raises chickens ducks and pigeons. So I’m sure they don’t get all the attention, sun and stuff they’d need. My ducks are spoiled so these looked so small and pale compared to mine. Idk I’m hoping they’re healthy.
 
Feed them good and give them outside time and you’ll see a big transformation. They are adorable. ❤ I think they are Pekins looking closely at their bill color
They’re already getting more time outside today with me then I think they have the whole 5 weeks they’ve been alive! They’ve already started following my ducks around so I’m hoping they warm up to me and will go in there little pool soon!
 
Idk if anyone will see this but This is them now. Their beaks aren’t really changing color but they’re definitely growing since being here. So idk what kind they are.

Had to post some pictures and how much they’ve changed in the last month. What some sun and TLC will do. These are two beauties now 🥰
