Help identifying duckling breeds

[peepers93]

Hey! So I couldn't resist picking up four ducklings from TSC yesterday. This is my first experience with ducks - I've only ever had chickens (in fact I gave the ducklings to my Silkie to raise - she just hatched some chicks, so I just snuck the ducklings in with them lol.) But I'm wondering if anyone could help figure out what breeds these guys are.

I'm assuming the yellow one is a Pekin, though of course I could very well be wrong lol.

The yellow crested is likely a crested Pekin. The two in the bottom pic that stand up tall, if this is how they usually stand (I know curious ducks of all sorts tend to stand tall for photos) are runners, likely one chocolate colored and one fawn/white colored. The one with the eyeliner is either a rouen or a mallard and I always get confused which is which

If the ones in the last pic always stand tall they maybe Runners. Rouen and crested Pekin. Very precious little ones

The yellow one is a crested duck, the wild looking one could be a Rouen or a mallard and the two standing up straight are runners.

Doesn’t Rouen have 2 eye stripes? Looks like 2 eye stripes. We need some Rouen experts or Mallard experts.

@MillersFarm is this duckling a Rouen?

 

[MillersFarm]

Rouen Mallards only have 1 eye line.

Thank you all! I appreciate the responses. I did a little bit of research before posting and apparently guessed correctly on all of them - the one I was questioning the most was the little black and yellow, I couldn't tell if it was a Mallard or a Rouen. As far as the two standing straight up in the last picture, I believe that's how they always stand. I'm definitely hoping they're Runners! I really want duck eggs and from what I've read it seems like they're great for egg production.

Runners are great little egg layers just make sure you provide needed calcium for them with Oyster shell as with all your layers.
